The Earth is approaching to become the fifth planet of the solar system, which will gain planetary rings, пишет The Space News.

So far, the only planets that have a ring system are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

Their rings are composed of frozen rockssuch as asteroids and other celestial bodies or natural debris.

Utah space experts are currently exploring several cost-effective and safe strategies. cleaning the Earth’s orbit from debris.

According to the professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Utah Jake Abbott, space organizations and enterprises should clean up the debris that accumulates outside the Earth.

According to NASA, there are about 23 thousand wreckage about the size of a softball. They are connected by hundreds of millions of smaller fragments.

Such debris can develop speed up to 28160 km / h, which poses a serious threat to satellites, space travel and research.

Plus, they really take risks grow together into planetary rings. Due to their tremendous speeds, the removal of these particles is difficult and dangerous.

Only a small part of this rubbish is from about 200 to 400 debris – burns up in the Earth’s atmosphere every year.

Earlier it was also reported that astronomers detected an unknown radio signal from the center of the galaxy.
