Let's think about space debris today. Is his existence possible. We've all seen a photo of space debris orbiting our planet. An amazing creature is a man, he manages to litter not only where he lives, but also where he has never been.
Space debris is fragments of satellites and their entire parts, which appeared in the orbit of our planet thanks to fifty years of experience in the exploration of the nearest space by humans. According to official data, 500 thousand pieces of debris rotate in the orbit of the planet, which rotate at a tremendous speed and threaten our satellites and stations like the Russian ISS.
And now let's think together, if this is really the case, then why does this garbage not cast any shadows on our planet. Many will say that these are very small objects, bolts and all sorts of small waste from the work of astronauts in outer space. But according to official data, there are also quite large bodies. By the type of removable media that take satellites into orbit, as well as non-working satellites. Don't they reflect the light of the sun or cast shadows.
Another inconsistency is as follows. How can we allow such stations as the ISS to be put into orbit, where people work? After all, if an object the size of a tennis ball collides with the station, a real disaster will occur, since the rotation speed of the debris is 6-12 km / sec. Yes, not a single normal person would fly into orbit.
An aluminum plate, a fragment of the space station's shield that was hit by a bolt.
And why don't amateur astronomers observing the moon in their home telescopes see this debris. Watch any video on YouTube, there is no garbage anywhere. Watch the video from the official website of Roscosmos, is it really possible that not a piece of garbage gets on any video. Some kind of contradiction. People who know that they can be smashed to small pieces at any moment go out into outer space to tighten the nuts at their station. A bunch of satellites worth millions of dollars are being launched into space, despite the fact that flying into Earth's orbit is problematic. Maybe I do not understand something and have not taken into account something?
