Did you know? Earth has a big mess! Millions of old pieces fly around our planet. They come from old rockets and satellites. These pieces move very, very fast. Even tiny pieces can break things in space!
This space junk is a growing problem. There are about 230 million small pieces up there! Scientists are worried about our working satellites. Satellites help us watch the weather every day. They also help our phones and maps work.
But here is the exciting news! Scientists are building robots to help. These robots will grab the junk in space. Then, the robots will bring it back down. It will burn up safely. Cleaning up space is a cool adventure!
