CO2 gas accumulates a lot of waste in space

The results of an international team of scientists published in the journal Nature Geoscience show that November 11 that the amount of carbon dioxide accumulated in the Earth's upper atmosphere accelerates the amount of waste. space created by humans.

This is the main cause of collisions between space junk and other objects in space.

Research results from space satellites including the International Space Station (ISS) placed in the atmosphere show that, in addition to causing global warming, CO2 also has the opposite effect. cooling the atmosphere and contracting the outer layer of the upper atmosphere.

Space expert Hugh Lewis said that instead of being burned in the lower layers of the atmosphere, closer to Earth, space waste is extended by CO2. Because CO ₂ acts on the atmosphere, making the troposphere cooler, it helps extend the life of the waste in space.

Being serviced by low temperatures causes space junk to not be destroyed but increasingly accumulate at a faster and more rapid rate, causing more collisions with other space objects.

Researchers warn, more dangerous than space waste can collide and destroy space research ships launched by humans.
