A dead NASA satellite that helped slow global warming by confirming holes in the ozone has finally returned to Earth.
After 38 years in orbit, a dead NASA satellite has returned to Earth. The satellite, known as the Earth Radiation Budget Satellite, or ERBS, was launched in 1984 aboard the space shuttle Challenger. The satellite worked until 2005, collecting data about how Earth absorbed and radiated energy from our Sun.
Most parts of the satellite may have burned up while reentering the atmosphere. Image source: Aliaksandr Marko/Adobe
