            "description": "Falling space junk is becoming a real-world hazard, and scientists have found a clever new way to track it using instruments already listening to the Earth itself. By tapping into networks of earthquake sensors, researchers can follow the sonic booms created when space debris tears through the atmosphere, revealing where it traveled, broke apart, and possibly hit the ground.",
            "content": "This method relies on networks of seismometers, instruments designed to detect ground motion from earthquakes. The approach can deliver more precise information in near real time than what is typically available today, making it easier to find and re... [4036 chars]",
