A piece of metal that tore through a Florida home last month was space junk from the International Space Station, according to
News, a CBS News affiliate in southwestern Florida, first reported the incident. Naples resident Alejandro Otero told the outlet that the object crashed through the roof and two floors of his home. Otero was not home at the time, he told said it had analyzed the object at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida and confirmed that it was part of the equipment used to mount the batteries on the cargo pallet. The piece of space junk is roughly cylindrical in shape and is about 4-inches tall and 1.6-inches wide.
. It’s not uncommon for space agencies and commercial space companies to discard defunct hardware in this manner, since it avoids contributing to Earth’s space junk problem. Tens of thousands of pieces of such junk — and millions more smaller bits of orbital debris — already clutter the space around the planet. Objects that enter the atmosphere leave space and burn, rather than joining that debris field.
