The European Space Agency (ESA) has released a series of computer-generated pictures depicting our planet surrounded by millions and million pieces of space junk. Much like Saturn has rings, soon Earth will have a ring. Except ours is made from crap dumped in space and is traveling at 20,000 miles above Earth. The orbiting junk is largely comprised of outdated telecommunication equipment.  ESA says the number of objects in Earth's atmosphere has risen steadily increasing by 200 per year on average and that there are now 600 working satellites.
Collisions, explosions and lost or discarded material from space flights and rockets has resulted in the atmosphere resembling a junk yard with potentially millions of pieces of metal travelling in permanent orbit 20,000 miles above the Earth.
