It's high time to clean up the space otherwise the growing amount of space junk around Earth could prove dangerous for not only satellites, but also manned spacecrafts. This is the warning that the National Research Council has given to NASA in a report released on Thursday.
The amount of space debris floating around Earth has touched the “tipping point,” as per a report released by the National Research Council, which will be putting into danger the safety of operational satellites and spacecraft from NASA and other space agencies.
The European Space Agency's Mars Express satellite has been orbiting Mars since around 2003, but it has just stumbled on a rare find that scientists believe is a glimpse into wetter days on the Red Planet. The satellite found evidence that a huge crater on Mars was once a water-filled lake, and ESA said the rare find was revealed by the presence of a delta, which is an ancient fan-shaped deposit of dark sediments, laid down in water.
