In February 2022, SpaceX launched 49 Starlink satellites into a low orbit. A geomagnetic storm, only moderate in strength, heated the upper atmosphere, which expanded and grew denser at their altitude. Drag rose sharply, and nearly 40 of them failed to reach their final orbit: they fell back and burned up in the atmosphere.
On 27 August 1883, the eruption of the Indonesian volcano Krakatoa was heard as far away as Rodrigues Island, nearly 4,800 km away. Its pressure wave was picked up by barometers worldwide and circled the globe several times. The tsunamis that followed killed more than 36,000 people.
The deepest known point in the ocean, Challenger Deep, lies roughly 10,900 m below the Pacific surface. Drop Everest in and its summit would still sit about 2 km underwater. Down there, the pressure is more than 1,000 times what you feel at sea level, roughly a tonne pressing on every square centimetre.
