Most ants are less than an inch long, making them very small insects. While their petite stature may seem like a problem for ...

Scientists have just found a new way to track the uncontrolled reentry of falling space junk. As they punch into the ...

Why don't planets fall into the stars they orbit if they're constantly being pulled by gravity?Lindsey CoughterRocky Mount, North Carolina This is a brilliant question because the notion of an orbit ...

Scientists found a new way to track falling space debris using earthquake sensors, helping improve safety and response time.

Falling satellites and large orbital debris create massive sonic booms and scientists are using them to track dangerous space junk.

The method exploits the acoustic shockwaves produced when a returning object travels faster than the speed of sound. As these sonic booms strike the ground, they ...

Astronomers have unravelled the mystery behind an intriguing flicker that they noticed in black hole systems, using advanced computer simulations. Black holes, the most compact objects in the ...

Trouble struck near the end of the third stage, a solid-fuel motor that provides the final big push toward orbit. ISRO reported a sudden disturbance.

Earth's orbiting satellites are commonly regarded as if they were suspended in mid-air. It is a fact that they actually experience a state of continuous free fall. This implies that they fall toward ...
