3 Ways to Explore the “Ignorosphere"

The video explores the Near Space region, also known as the ignorosphere or MLT, which is crucial for understanding Earth's climate and weather. Scientists use sounding rockets and meteor radar to study this area, but these methods have limitations. A new approach, levitation by light or photophyresis, is being developed to gather more data. This technique involves using light to float materials in the MLT, potentially offering new insights into this mysterious region.

What are the implications of understanding the MLT for climate change research?

What is photophoretic levitation, and how is it being applied in research?
