The infographic below summarizes the information about the formation as well as a detailed description of the extraterrestrial garbage space.
People are ridiculous, it seems that wherever there are human footprints, the place has garbage, even in space! The amount of space waste to date is about 6.35 million kg, which is equivalent to the mass of 1000 African elephants.
Most of the space waste is caused by collisions between satellites , but sometimes there are things that are "silly" by astronauts to forget as Heidemarie Stefanyshyn's $ 100,000 tool bag - Piper.
In addition, it has frozen urine and domestic waste. On average, there are about 200-400 large objects that we can observe every year returning to the atmosphere and falling to the surface of the earth. However less than 100 of them are big enough to survive and reach the ground.
