Space Junk.

Space Junk is an expository text that invites readers to learn about space junk. Readers explore where space junk comes from, how space junk is tracked, dangerous pieces of space junk, as well as how we can keep the universe clean.

Many illustrations and illustrative diagrams are labeled and include captions. A pie graph is used to show readers where space junk comes from. A table of contents, an index, and a fun facts page are included.

Words such as orbital debris, atmosphere, and satellites, may need clarification. Hyphens appear in ground-based, garbage-collecting, and space-based. To conclude, a two-page spread invites readers to learn about the characteristics of an explanatory text with supporting examples from the text.
