🌌 NASA has detected dangerous debris drifting near the Milky Way, and scientists are paying close attention. In this video, we explain what this debris actually is, where it came from, and why it matters. We’ll break down whether it poses any real threat or if the headlines are getting ahead of the science. From cosmic dust to fast-moving objects, space isn’t as empty as it looks. If space dangers and real astronomy intrigue you, this one’s worth your time. 🚨 Credit:<br />CC BY-SA 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.en<br />Large Synoptic Survey Telescope: by LSST Project Office https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Large_Synoptic_Survey_Telescope_3_4_render_2013.png<br />The Cosmic Treasure Chest: by NSF–DOE Vera C.
