Published Jan 22, 2026
Space debris—the thousands of pieces of human-made objects abandoned in Earth's orbit—poses a risk to humans when it falls to the ground. To locate possible crash sites, a Johns Hopkins University scientist has helped to devise a way to track falling debris using existing networks of earthquake-detecting seismometers.
