Space debris surrounding the Earth

02-03-2019


Today’s Video of the Day from the European Space Agency shows space debris orbiting the Earth.

The objects are a variety of different sizes, and pieces of debris smaller than 10 centimeters have been derived from a statistical model created by the ESA. Data on objects larger than 10 centimeters was obtained from the U. S. Space Surveillance Catalogue.
