It is very important to ask three questions:

1.) How do spaceship and satellite launches impact our environment, in particular the #thermosphere?

2.) Who is the main culprit of this unsustainable development in orbit? (see below)

https://mastodon.social/@HistoPol/111141586398331386

(Translation: see #AltText)

3.) How do we combat it?

Aurora and the collective motion of plasma in the thermosphere

Today, we're diving into a fascinating blend of atmospheric mysteries, the origins of life, and surprisingly, the physics of sheep herding.

The Earth's changing, irregular magnetic field is causing headaches for polar navigation

The Earth's liquid molten outer core, composed mostly of iron and nickel, exerts an electromagnetic field extending from the north and south pole that protects the planet from harmful solar particle radiation.
