Space junk – level 1

Space junk

21-10-2025 15:00

There is a lot of trash around the Earth. It comes from old rockets and satellites.

The trash moves very fast. It can hit other satellites. Then there is more trash. Some trash falls and burns in the air. Big pieces can come to Earth. Scientists want to clean space. They try to use lasers or new machines to move the trash. They also want to stop making more trash.

People must take care of space. It is important for phones, the internet, and TV. We need to keep it safe and clean.

Difficult words: satellite (a machine which goes around the Earth), hit (to crash into something), laser (a strong light beam).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

What do scientists try to use to move space trash?
