Space debris. This is all the objects floating overhand. There's basically a cloud of objects up there from satellites to bits and pieces of satellites and rocket bodies and things like that going overhand. There's many more than what I've seen here today. I'm just listing some that are a synthetic size. 31,205 objects tracked globally. My location is 1,964. One of the means they use to detect some of these is in France. There's a radio radar system in France. This is used to watch for satellites and space debris around Earth, including meteorites and asteroids. It runs on a 143 MHz Yagi antenna and it detects objects passing over the radar station. It can be used to detect meteors and asteroids. That's one of the ways they do it. They have these stations all over the world that detect these overhand. They have satellites above us doing the same thing. The ISS also collects information about all these objects that are up in space. There's more attention being paid to the fact that there's interstrands being produced by these satellites, the clusters and the constellations going up from SpaceX. These are producing radio frequencies that are interfering with radio astronomy. Not intentionally, but it's a product of the way these satellites are put together. There's more than going up all the time. It's dropping for a second.
