The Space Junk
New words: orbit debris
The governments around the world and scientists says that there is too many space junk outer space. There are too much satellites that are not used, and satellites that are not important. Everyone says that the Earth looks like this,
But the Earth actually looks like this with all the space junk.
Some scientist did some research to see how many will be there in the future. They think every year 10 satellites will be removed (destroyed).
Scientist don't want to increase more orbital debris, which is smaller pieces of satellite made when they bump into each other. In 2009 a Russian satellite and a U.S. satellite bumped into each other and made a huge accident. The scientists don't want to make and accident that big again, so they are trying to get full satellites removed and also orbital debris removed from space so it won't crash into Earth. Another situation, a satellite hit the capital of Saudi Arabia which caused a terrible crash.
