Exploring the Moon's Growing Space Junk Problem
The future of space exploration is changing, as researchers have recently found that the Moon is now surrounded by a belt of human-made space junk. This belt is made up of over a million pieces of debris, such as defunct satellites, spent rocket stages, and other pieces of machinery. This discovery has sparked a discussion among scientists regarding the effects this space junk will have on future space exploration and the potential of further debris accumulation in the near future. The implications of this space junk belt could be detrimental to our ability to explore the Moon and beyond.
