    Edge of Space Found

    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.

    whose grey top shall tremble,
    He descending, will Himself,
    in thunder, lightning, and loud trumpet’s sound,
    ordain them laws".
