Solar Storms Cause Starlink Satellites to Fall From Orbit

The sun goes through cycles of activity, and right now, it's very active.

This activity, like giant explosions called solar flares, is affecting satellites orbiting Earth.

SpaceX's Starlink satellites, which provide internet, are being pushed closer to Earth by the sun's energy.

This causes them to fall faster than expected, and some even fall back into the atmosphere.

Scientists are studying this to understand how the sun's activity impacts technology in space, and how to better protect it.

Think of it like a big push from the sun making it harder for things to stay in their orbit.
