Jessica Hodge+FollowSpace Junk’s Sonic Booms Tracked by Earthquake SensorsTurns out, earthquake sensors aren’t just for earthquakes anymore! Scientists just used them to catch the sonic booms from a massive chunk of space junk reentering over California. These sensors picked up the wild sounds as the Shenzhou-15 module burned up, helping researchers track its speed, altitude, and even how it broke apart. With over a million pieces of space debris up there, this could be a game-changer for keeping tabs on falling junk! #Science #SpaceJunk #EarthquakeSensors00Share
