A growing space debris problem leads scientists to use seismic sensors to follow sonic booms from uncontrolled reentries ...

Researchers have discovered that the same sensors used to detect earthquakes are the key to tracking the growing swarm of space junk plummeting toward Earth.

Los Alamos scientists have developed a novel method using shockwaves from sonic booms to track objects entering Earth's ...

Networks of seismometers pick up on vibrations of debris to map their trajectory on Earth.

As more and more space junk comes crashing down, a new study shows how earthquake monitors can better track incoming objects by tuning into their sonic booms.

Space debris is an escalating concern. According to an April 2025 report from the European Space Agency, an estimated 1.2 ...

As global numbers of space launches relentlessly skyrocket, so, too, does the amount of dangerous space debris that reenters ...

Old satellites and other space junk fall toward Earth every day, and the shock waves they create could be used to track their trajectories, according to new research.

Space debris—the thousands of pieces of human-made objects abandoned in Earth's orbit—pose a risk to humans when they fall to ...

The sensors used to listen for earthquakes could help protect people from the hazards created by falling spacecraft.
