There are efforts by various space agencies and companies to address the issue of space junk through the development of technologies like debris removal missions and concepts for debris tracking and mitigation. However, there is no single entity solely responsible for cleaning up all space junk at this time.
Because satellites are blown up, forming debris, which is called space junk
Everything is attracted to everything else by gravity. So, over time, space junk will attract other space junk and join with it. This larger amount of space junk could potentially come closer and closer to Earth (as the force of gravity on it is now greater, and with a greater mass it becomes more difficult to keep it in orbit). Eventually it might crash into the Earth, conditional on not burning up in the atmosphere. The orbit of space junk could bring it in contact with, destroy and make space junk of, commuication satellites, probes, telescopes etc.
The junk consists of the remains of the satellites that have been launched from Earth. They have outlived their usefulness and have been abandoned. Eventually their orbit decays and they fall back to Earth. Most will totally burn up due to friction in the atmosphere. Little of it will reach the surface. But it does pose a hazard to the launch of new satellites and spacecraft.
Space junk is nonfunctional satellites, later stages of booster rockets that made it into orbit, and any thing left behind by astronauts and cosmonauts, such as gloves, nuts, bolts, garbage bags, ice and the like.

Rocks, dust, and other space junk
Space junk is not really a discovery. Humans put it there. We've got large quantities of junk orbiting our planet because we don't pick up after ourselves. It's not really any more of a discovery than litter is. There's no Christopher Columbus of litter, and that's basically what space junk is. So I can't really tell you who.
One of the jobs of NORAD is to track this stuff with RADAR and maintain a catalog of what is up there at all times.
junk or thing that have a lot of mass
The person whose ground they land on.
An object or substance that physically occupies a specific volume is considered to take up space. This can include anything from furniture in a room to air in a balloon.
If by "Cleaning up" you mean "deleting data" then space Will free up.Defragging or "Checking Disk" will not create free space.
Meteors are seen in the sky when huge space junk enter the atmosphere and burn up.
Yes. Sleep Inn and Suites are a pet-friendly motel chain. They accept most family pets into rooms with an understanding that you are responsible for cleaning up behind them. The maid staff are not responsible for cleaning up after pets.
