Dead satellites falling to Earth could weaken its magnetic field
- Satellites burning up as they fall to Earth could weaken its magnetic field, and under a worst-case scenario, even strip away part of its atmosphere.
- Physicist Sierra Solter-Hunt warns about the effects of growing satellite 'megaconstellations' launched by companies like SpaceX.
- The magnetic particles left behind from dead satellites could create a band of plasma dust that weakens Earth's protective magnetosphere.
- The increased levels of radiation could pose risks to satellites and spacecraft electronics, affecting future space missions.
