These incidents are becoming so common that the #Australian 🇦🇺 #SpaceAgency has put together a trio of steps to take if suspected space debris is discovered.

"Very often they will be made of something like titanium which is really good at surviving. Just don't let them randomly reenter. Bring them down via controlled reentry and then if they are survivable it doesn't matter because you dump them somewhere where there aren't any people" 🤕 https://www.space.com/space-exploration/launches-spacecraft/metal-spheres-found-in-australia-show-how-little-we-still-know-about-falling-space-debris-experts-say
