The sky is getting crowded. In the last few years, the number of satellite launches has increased by an order of magnitude as ...

In the mid-1980s, scientists published a startling finding–a giant hole in the ozone layer over Antarctica. That’s the protective shield that blocks large amounts of harmful UV radiation. And without ...

The ozone layer is a part of the Earth’s atmosphere that absorbs much of the sun’s harmful ultraviolet light. In 1985, researchers noticed that the ozone layer was growing thinner above the Antarctic.

It's been 40 years since groundbreaking research announced the discovery of a hole in the ozone layer, a revelation that launched a rapid and successful effort to ban chemicals in hairspray, deodorant ...

On 16 September, the world will mark the International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer. It was on this day, 35 years ago, that the Montreal Protocol, considered one of the most significant ...

It has now been almost four decades since scientists discovered the growing hole in Earth's ozone layer. But climate researchers now say that the protective shield, around 20 miles above our planet's ...

In a revelation highlighting the fragile balance of our planet's atmosphere, scientists have uncovered an unexpected link between massive wildfire events and the chemistry of the ozone layer. Using ...

The ozone layer is a part of Earth’s atmosphere that captures some of the Sun’s ultraviolet (UV) light emissions. When the ozone layer is compromised, its ability to absorb radiation weakens, allowing ...

The discovery of a hole in Earth’s protective ozone layer in 1985 led to a worldwide effort to heal it. But are there lessons that can be applied to today’s treaty talks on climate change? A worldwide ...

Scientists stated that worldwide ozone layer protection measures have been a major achievement, showing that harmful gases are dropping faster than projected. Experts, according to Science Alert, ...

According to the satellite tracking website Orbiting Now, there are approximately 9,900 satellites in Earth's various orbits, and that number is growing every day as Earth becomes more reliant on ...
