3 big hunks of space junk crash to Earth every day — and it's only going to get worse

Over 46,000 space debris fragments more than 4 inches wide now clutter Earth's orbit.

At least three old satellites or rocket bodies fall back to Earth every day, a new report reveals.

And experts warn that the number of objects returning from space is set to increase, a possible concern for the health of Earth's atmosphere and for the safety of humans on the ground.
