A ring weighing half a ton fell from the sky in Kenya

In Kenya’s Makueni County, located southeast of Nairobi, space debris fell from the sky, causing a commotion among locals.

According to The New York Times, a metal ring about three meters in diameter collapsed from the sky.

The weight of the ring is about 498 kilograms. Fortunately, there were no casualties in the fall.

According to local media, the found object is the separation ring of the launch vehicle.

This element of the structure, as experts believe, remained in orbit as a result of years of space activity.

Experts note that such cases are a reminder of the risks associated with the accumulation of space debris in Earth orbit.
