"Unexplained Giant Object Found on Australian Shoreline"

TL;DR Summary
A large, mysterious object the size of a small car washed up on a beach in Western Australia, sparking international speculation about its origin. Experts now believe it is a piece of an engine from an Indian rocket and could be up to 20 years old. The incident highlights the growing concern over space debris and the potential for a Kessler Syndrome scenario, where the accumulation of objects in orbit could lead to collisions and hinder future satellite launches. While most space debris burns up upon reentry, the issue of unregulated space junk remains a challenge.
