Space Junk

Space junk, also known as orbital debris, is increasingly affecting our atmosphere and daily life. As discarded satellites, rocket parts, and fragments from collisions accumulate in Earth’s orbit, they pose significant threats to operational satellites, space missions, and even the safety of astronauts. When space debris enters the atmosphere, it can burn up and create small meteor-like displays, but larger pieces can survive re-entry, leading to potential risks for life on Earth. This growing issue demands global cooperation for effective tracking, removal, and prevention of further debris, as it’s vital to maintain a safe, sustainable space environment for future exploration and communication technologies.

Alula is a Graphic and Motion Designer based in Arizona who received a BSD degree in Graphic Design from Arizona State University. Throughout his four years as a Graphic Design student, he learned the simplicity of design and pride you feel after designing something you are proud of, but also the convolutedness that comes with it. His realization that design’s rules need to be broken was a pivotal moment that led to where she is now.

Maternal Mortality amongst black women

The Colorado River Crisis

It is not a question of ‘if’ the Colorado River will run dry, it is a matter of ‘when’. 

The American Southwest has always been an arid landscape, but that did not stop people from moving west. From as early as 1893, it has been known that the Colorado River could not sustain such a large population. Despite this, the Southwest made the Colorado River it’s main source of water. Rather than seek alternative sources of water or focus on conservation, the government has falsified data and allowed exorbitant uses of water. Unless drastic measures are taken by governmental agencies and big corporations to reduce water loss, the river will run out, leaving 40 million people without access to clean water.
