A Starlink satellite seems to have exploded

A Starlink satellite from SpaceX has reportedly exploded in low Earth orbit, creating a debris field. The incident, which occurred at an altitude of 418km, suggests an internal energetic source caused the anomaly. SpaceX has stated that the debris poses no threat to the International Space Station and will burn up in the atmosphere within weeks. This event comes shortly after a near miss with a Chinese satellite, highlighting the growing congestion in low Earth orbit and the potential risks associated with space debris.
