"Satellite Debris Threatens Earth's Magnetic Field"

A new study explores the impact of conductive dust from burning satellites on Earth's magnetic field, raising concerns about potential perturbations and damage to the protective shield. The increasing number of satellites re-entering Earth's atmosphere is generating significant amounts of conductive dust, which could potentially affect the ozone layer and allow harmful cosmic radiation to reach the planet's surface. Scientists are calling for caution and further research into the long-term environmental consequences of space debris pollution.
