Space Debris Earth Actual Look From The Space   This is the actual look of the planet Earth from the Space. The junk you see around is called Space Debris. Since the beginning of spaceflight, over 9,000 satellites have been launched into orbit. But with the speed of launches increasing exponentially, space is close to get much busier. In addition to every satellite currently in Earth’s orbit, there is around 100,000 tonnes of debris, most of which is too small for us to track. But what proportion damage can a small object really do to a spacecraft? And how do we shield the ISS from such dangers?     In this article, we’re going to look at the powerful physics behind space impacts. We’re also going to look at the different methods used to shield the ISS and how we put them to the test here on Earth. Out of all the objects hurtling around Earth, only those larger than a baseball are often tracked. If a spacecraft is on a path to collide with a piece of...
