Satellites and space junk chocking the earth. This is a map of all the satellites and space junk currently in orbit around the earth. The scale is somewhat exaggerated but it still paints a sad picture especially considering how many more satellites are planned to feed our hunger for the internet. (Irony of posting on Instagram full accepted). This is captured from the website leolabs who are set up to help private company’s track their satellites and avoid damage. It reminds me of a pop up book I had about the planet covered in rubbish.
