Check my Post on Debris in space…i got a website which displayed 36 pictures on space debris. And also check this video…Very helpful in understanding how debris increase in number and surround the earth.
at one time US GOV had NORAD public tracking data applied to a 3d gfx program served by NASA. Made a nice applett; however, it was specifically satellites, LEO, HEO, and GEO.
the 2D picture shows it more crowded than it really is. do you have a 3D image?
Nope. Feel free to google it and let us know if you find one.
