Scientists say Earth will develop a ‘Saturn ring’ made of junk

A new study highlights the growing issue of space junk, with 170 million pieces orbiting Earth. This debris poses significant risks to spacecraft and astronauts, and the number is expected to increase with more satellites being launched by companies like SpaceX and Amazon. Robotics professor Jake Abbott suggests using specialized magnets to collect debris. Global conflicts could exacerbate the problem by creating more debris through anti-satellite missiles.
