"SpaceX Satellites' Demise Threatens Earth's Magnetic Field"

A controversial paper suggests that as SpaceX's satellites and others burn up in the atmosphere, their magnetized "dust" could pollute the atmosphere and weaken Earth's magnetic field, potentially leaving the outer edges of our atmosphere vulnerable to space radiation. While some experts are skeptical of the claims, others argue that the potential impact underscores the need to better understand metallic pollution in our atmosphere and the effects of satellites on Earth's health.
