Satellites circling Earth have many different functions, including navigation, communications and Earth observation. About 8%–10% of all active satellites are military or "dual use" serving ...

A shocking image shows how the night sky view is being crowded by satellites. Astrophotographers observing Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) have captured striking evidence of how rapidly Earth’s near-space ...

A satellite is, in essence, a machine that orbits the earth, transmitting and receiving information across vast distances. Acting as relay stations in space, satellites by-pass the need for extensive ...

Researchers at College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences are using AI to detect patterns across landscapes, atmospheres and ecosystems at scales that were previously impossible.

Light reflected from satellites pollutes the images taken by telescopes orbiting Earth, as well as those on the ground. Without mitigations, this will only get worse. Read the paper: Satellite ...

In the '80s, the image of the Earth floating in the vacuum of space acted as a collective wake-up call: this is our planet, where we live. But beyond this awareness, true collective consciousness on a ...

For years, the commercial space sector has been abuzz about the prospect of satellite "super constellations" in Earth orbit. These satellites would provide everything from communications and ...
