The hole in the ozone layer, Earth’s protective chemical shield that absorbs most of the sun’s ultraviolet rays, has slowly healed over the last few decades since the global ban of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). But scientists are now raising the alarm about puncturing a new hole in the ozone layer—this time without any noticeable CGCs in sight.
Instead, the surprising cause is deterioration of the aluminum in megaconstellation satellites like SpaceX’s Starlink network.
For our purposes, a satellite is a human-made object put into low-Earth orbit (LEO) for a planned lifespan. There are about 5,000 active and defunct satellite sin LEO, with over 40,000 Starlink sats planned in the future, plus satellite projects from national space agencies and private companies around the world, researchers from the University of British Columbia say in their new Scientific Reports study.

Great, another lockdown.
Maybe they’re using that conveniently deteriorating aluminum to build Lord Gate’s global foil wrap to turn the sun rays away and save Erf from global warming. 🤪
Popular Mechanics is still around?? I cancelled them 30 years ago when they went full on Religion
“since the global ban of chlorofluorocarbons”
I thought that was due to a patent expiring ?
I have suffered because of R12 price gouging, Recently I found out that you can use an ISO-butane propane mix.
Seems to work really well. I told my local auto parts guy and he freaked out from behind his mask and said my car was a like a bong now and it was going to explode or something.
I told him he should be more concerned about the extremely toxic and explosive 1234yf
Hole develops every winter, “heals” every spring with the appearance of the sun. Magic.
The Salvage Pbe business model.
Lol, seriously... even if it is small disposable four stage rockets that go stab the dead ones, then vector and push them safely out into space. Send them into the sun... :)
That is pretty cool. Full size at the source.
That’s a shame , YAWN
Hi.
Mercury, too much mercury.
Coming from volcanoes in Greenland caused by global warming.
Cooling?
Climate change?
Read the report today from scientists.
5.56mm
Are the clones available?
I just want to know if it will harm the essence of my bodily fluids?
There is no real quantitative science in this article. It is all assumptions based on suppositions and fear mongering. It is Bull Sh-t.
“Sounds like propaganda to turn public opinion against Elon Musk.”
My first thought.
Imagine if Musk creates his own uncensored, free speech versions of Google, Youtube, Facebook and Twitter in his StarLink network.
Around 45% of Americans would like that.
It wouldn’t surprise me if much more than that liked it once it was up and running and word got around. People like freedom when they get a chance to experience it.
