A network of Cold War-era infrasound sensors can help scientists reconstruct trajectories of falling space objects.

Kosmos 482 was part of the Soviet Union's storied Venera program of Venus exploration. The probe launched toward the second ...

A Soviet-era spacecraft meant to land on Venus a half century ago is expected to plunge uncontrolled back to Earth within ...

That said, Langbroek believes Kosmos 482’s orbital inclination of 51.7 degrees means it could reentry between the 52N and 52S ...

Every year, Earth gets a bit bigger. Thousands of metric tons of space dust fall from the sky, while about 50 tons per year of meteorites crash land somewhere on the surface. Since the 1960s ...

When launched, the Soviet probe was bound for Venus, but a technical failure locked it in a perpetual orbit around Earth. However, it is expected to start falling back to the Earth in an ...

meteors are created by debris left behind by the famous Halley's Comet that then fall to Earth, creating "shooting stars" that leave long glowing trails behind. The meteor shower is one of the ...

These infrasound sensors can help determine falling space objects' trajectory ... the world's oceans where most space junk and meteorites crash to Earth or burn up in the atmosphere.
