The skies over Queensland were lit by lightning, on February 25, when debris from a Chinese rocket passed the Australian state. The unconventional view of social media users led to photos and videos of the space debris being burned up as it returned into Earth’s atmosphere. Experts have chosen that space debris threatens satellites orbiting the planet, so it’s best to burn them up in the earth’s atmosphere itself.
The National Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA) said nearly 15,214 pieces of space debris have been recorded in orbit around the Earth since November 2020. However, in case any part of it falls back to ground, it is burnt and consumed by the lower ones. air cover, leaving zilch to fall on the surface of the planet.
Speaking about the scene for the Associated Press, Professor Jonti Horner, an astronomer and astronomer at the University of Southern Queensland, explained that the launch of a Chinese satellite in Chinese was launched by a piece of rocket. 2019. “The Chinese launched a GPS satellite called Beidou-3I3 back on November 4, 2019. The rocket piece has since been found as a bit of space debris – and people have quickly attached it to the debris seen above Queensland. It is very likely that the rocket was completely destroyed on reconnaissance infiltration, and nothing would be done to the Earth ‘s surface, “he explained.

What is space debris?
Like NASA, most orbital debris consists of man-made objects, such as spacecraft pieces, tiny spacecraft hulls, parts of rockets, satellites that no longer work. , or explosions of objects in orbit flying around in space at high speeds. Space waste is not the responsibility of one country, but the responsibility of each country for space. The problem of space debris management is both an international challenge and an opportunity to preserve the space environment for future space exploration missions.
