Photos by Brett Tingley, courtesy of the Glamping CollectiveA similar chunk of Dragon trunk was found in Franklin, North Carolina in June. It's when space debris free-falls toward Earth with no one controlling its course. Even though this space debris is relatively small compared to, say, car-sized satellites, it's not harmless.

This incident serves as an example of the urgent need for a profound shift toward sustainable space practices. Proponents of a circular space economy advocate for a transformative departure from this wasteful paradigm. Much like embracing reusable materials on Earth, transitioning to a circular space economy means designing space systems with reuse, refurbishment and recyclability in mind. The European Space Agency (ESA) has emerged as a trailblazer in the pursuit of a circular space economy. By leading the charge toward sustainable space practices, NASA can inspire other space agencies and private companies to follow suit.

Peter Anthony Morgan, the lead singer of the reggae band Morgan Heritage, a Grammy Award-winning group that was formed by children of the singer Denroy Morgan and came to be known for its varied influences and tight vocal harmonies, died on Sunday. Mr. Morgan’s family confirmed his death in a statement on the band’s social media platforms. Mr. Morgan, known as “Peetah,” started Morgan Heritage with seven of his siblings in the 1994. For some early albums, including “Protect Us Jah” (1997) and “Don’t Haffi Dread” (1999), Morgan Heritage worked with Bobby Digital, one of Jamaica’s most influential producers. Before a show at New York City’s Irving Plaza in 1999, a New York Times music critic wrote that the band “holds on to the 1970s reggae traditions of harmony singing and thoughtful messages.”

The area, part of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province, is a hotbed for fighters of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), an umbrella organisation of Sunni Islamist groups. A TTP spokesman, Muhammad Khurasani, told Reuters its main target was Pakistan's military, but the police were standing in the way. "Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa pays a greater price for that" because of its exposure to the Islamist militants, he said. The TTP ended the ceasefire in November 2022, and regrouped militants restarted attacks in Pakistan soon after.

☆ Gunoiul spațial ar putea provoca o catastrofă. Sateliții de care depinde tot mai mult viața de zi cu zi, în pericol

Moriba Jah, inginer aerospațial, Universitatea din Texas: Monitorizăm peste 26.000 de obiecte ale căror dimensiuni variază de la un telefon inteligent la Stația Spațială Internațională. Aproximativ 3.500 dintre ele sunt sateliți, dispozitive cu un scop precis, dar restul este doar gunoi. Ne confruntăm cu ceea ce eu numesc un eveniment care poate provoca rapid reacții în lanț. Poziționarea, navigația și sincronizarea, tranzacțiile financiare, avertizările meteo, sateliții care asigură aceste tipuri de servicii în orice moment ar putea fi loviți de aceste bucăți de deșeuri și vor înceta să funcționeze. Așadar, ar putea avea un impact semnificativ asupra civilizației umane, dacă am pierde aceste resurse plasate în spațiu, în timp ce plasăm tot mai multe dispozitive în spațiu.
