Back to EpisodesStargazing: Spot Space Junk in Low Earth Orbit
Description
Stargazing in southeastern Australia? You might catch a glimpse of Starlink satellites launching into low Earth orbit, part of the growing crowd of over thirty-three thousand tracked objects. Space junk, from satellite collisions, poses risks as objects zip along at high speeds. Despite the clutter, hits are rare. Track these orbital neighbors with telescopes or apps, and you might spot the International Space Station, one hundred nine meters long, orbiting every ninety-three minutes.
