Space-based technology could help track plastic and other flotsam by its fingerprints. In late 2025, scientists reported that, for the first time, they were able to detect concentrations of plastic pollution on land using NASAs Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation (EMIT) sensor aboard the International Space Station. The technology has inspired marine researchers to []
