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.
Scientists have found a way to track when and where space junk crashes on earth. FOX 13's Dave Osterberg reports.
Now, scientists have devised a clever new way to predict where the pieces may land.
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — As more and more space junk comes crashing down, a new study shows how earthquake monitors can ...

Falling space junk is becoming a real-world hazard, and scientists have found a clever new way to track it using instruments ...
Earthquake sensors are giving scientists a new way to track space junk as it falls back to Earth.
Sometimes, what goes up doesn’t come back down — instead, it becomes a problem. Junk is accumulating in space at a fantastic pace, millions of pieces orbit the Earth, from broken satellites to lost ...
