SCIENTISTS TURN STARLINK INTO A GIANT SCANNER FOR EARTH’S UPPER ATMOSPHERE

Researchers have found a clever new way to map a part of Earth’s upper atmosphere that is notoriously difficult to observe. Using orbital data from roughly 1,200 Starlink satellites, they reconstructed changes in atmospheric density about 500 kilometers above Earth.

All Top News -- ScienceDaily reports that researchers have found a clever new way to map a part of Earth’s upper atmosphere that is notoriously difficult to observe.

The report adds: Using orbital data from roughly 1,200 Starlink satellites, they reconstructed changes in atmospheric density about 500 kilometers above Earth.

The approach could sharpen satellite tracking and help reduce the growing risk of collisions in increasingly crowded orbits.
