The U.S. Space Force and Roscosmos are tracking potential threatening debris from a Boeing-built satellite that exploded in orbit.
Intelsat said an anomaly triggered the explosion earlier this week and the cause is under investigation.
According to the British company Spaceflux, the fragments might still be a danger to other satellites.

Many black holes detected to date appear to be part of a pair. These binary systems comprise a black hole and a secondary object - such as a star, a much denser neutron star, or another black hole - that spiral around each other, drawn together by the black hole's gravity to form a tight orbital pair.
