Edge of Space Found


Hold on to your hats, or in this case, your helmets: Scientists have finally pinpointed the so-called edge of space — the boundary between Earth's atmosphere and outer space.

With data from a new instrument developed by scientists at the University of Calgary, scientists confirmed that space begins 73 miles (118 kilometers) above Earth's surface.

interesting. I had a look at the link and read some of it. Some controversy exists with that figure as I read as different organizations give different reasons for the edge of space to exist at different altitudes.

Nevertheless, an interesting find.

It's always conventional & arbitrary...
