A twenty year old satellite, UARS, crashed into the pacific ocean this weekend. It was about the size of a bus and weighed 6 tons! Some debris might have landed in North America towards the North West.
As I was reading about this satellite, I came across this map that was eyeopening. It shows how many objects are orbiting this earth such as satellites, etc. I didn't realize just quite how many satellites were orbiting around the earth!
