This visualisation, created by Dr Stuart Grey, lecturer at University College London and part of the Space Geodesy and Navigation Laboratory, made for the Royal Institution’s “A Place Called Space” advent calendar, shows how the amount of space debris increased from 1957 to 2015, using data on the precise location of each piece of junk ( from https://www.space-track.org ).

Avaruusromua riittää – täältä voit seurata livenä, missä mikäkin vekotin kiitää
