In a study conducted on the retreat rate of Greenland glaciers, it was learned that the melting rate of the glaciers has doubled in the last 20 years.
Along with this toolbox, astronomers did not forget to draw attention to the space debris orbiting our planet. NASA, which processed the toolbox into its orbital database, underlined that hundreds of space debris were wandering around in the sky.
Although it is strange that the toolbox got lost in space, it is not the first time such an accident has occurred. However, let us remind you that you do not have much time to examine this object in the sky, as it will disintegrate after a while.
