Unidentified Object Found on Australian Beach Sparks Speculation
Authorities in Australia are investigating a cylindrical object, believed to be space junk, that washed up on a remote beach. The object, about the size of a small car, appears to be partly made of a woven material and is thought to be an upper-stage engine from an Indian rocket. The Australian Space Agency is working with global counterparts to identify the object, while the Indian Space Research Organization has not yet commented. Initial concerns about the object being hazardous have been dismissed, but caution is advised due to the potential presence of carcinogenic fuel.
