Almost above 27,000 pieces of space junk- bigger than the size of a softball- currently orbiting Earth. Cleaning up this space junk is an essential task to send more rockets to space.
Now, mechanical engineers at the University of Utah have discovered a method of manipulating orbiting space debris. The method involves the use of spinning magnets.

According to NASA, there are more than 27,000 pieces of space debris bigger than the size of a softball currently orbiting Earth, and they are traveling at speeds of up to 17,500 mph, fast enough for a small chunk to damage a satellite or spacecraft like an intergalactic cannonball.

Using data from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and several ground-based telescopes, astronomers have discovered and confirmed a sub-Neptune exoplanet near the habitable zone of TOI-2285 (also known as TIC 329148988), an M-dwarf star located 137 light-years away in the

NASA's Juno probe reveals secrets of Jupiter's atmosphere in 3D | Space
The Juno mission is using its second extended phase to peer far into the clouds of Jupiter, using a polar-orbiting view that no previous spacecraft was able to access.
The results in the early phase of the extension — which started this year and will go to 2025, if the spacecraft outlasts the intense radiation — have been rich so far, investigators said in a news conference Thursday (Oct. 28).
SpaceX's Crew-3 astronaut launch for NASA delayed by 'minor medical issue | Space
SpaceX's next astronaut launch for NASA has been delayed until at least Saturday (Nov. 6) by a "minor medical issue" affecting a crewmember, agency officials said.
The mission, known as Crew-3 , had been scheduled to lift off early Wednesday morning (Nov. 3) from NASA's Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida. The earliest it could now launch is 11:36 p.m. EDT on Saturday evening (Nov. 6; 0336 GMT on Nov. 7).
NASA Shares First Evidence of Planet Outside Our Galaxy
Astronomers say they have found evidence for the first time of a planet orbiting a star outside our Milky Way galaxy.
The evidence was observed by a telescope operated by the American space agency NASA. It is called the Chandra X-ray Observatory. NASA says the orbiting observatory is the world's most powerful X-ray telescope.

Debris in space presents a hazard.
Cleaning up this space junk will be an important task if agencies are to shoot more rockets and satellites into orbit. University of Utah mechanical engineering professor Jake J.
The concept involves moving metallic, non-magnetized objects in space with spinning magnets.

Its competitors include Amazon.com's Kuiper and OneWeb which is co-owned by the British government and India's Bharti Enterprises.
It will also deal in devices such as satellite phones, network equipment, wired and wireless communication devices, as well as data transmission and reception equipment, it said.
