For the past 60 years, humans have been going into space to learn about the stars, physics, and our solar system.
In the process, we have left behind a lot of trash, including old satellites, parts of rockets, tools, and other odds and ends.
To fix this problem, Japan recently sent a ship to the International Space Station to help clean up the mess.
The ship, Kounotori 6, had a large, 700-meter-long tether with a metal net attached to it.
過去六十年來,人類一直在造訪太空來探索行星、物理和我們的太陽系。
在這過程中,我們遺留下了許多垃
圾,包括老舊的衛星、火箭殘骸、工具和其他零星物品。
為了解決這個問題,日本最近派出一艘太空船至國際太空
站協助清理髒亂。
這艘名為「鸛」6號機的太空船備有一條長達七百公尺的巨大繫繩與一張金屬網相連。
