Climate change isn’t just affecting Earth – it’s reshaping space as well. A new MIT study reveals that rising greenhouse gas emissions are shrinking the thermosphere, reducing atmospheric drag and allowing space debris to linger longer,

A study warns that high levels of greenhouse gas emissions could reduce by the end of the century half of the maximum number of satellites that can orbit the Earth safely. The accumulation of these gases in the upper layers of the atmosphere would favor space debris to remain longer,

A new MIT study looks at how greenhouse gases are affecting our ability to operate satellites. Here's why the results are concerning.
