This NY Times article about a recent near-miss of some space debris and the International Space Station got me thinking, again, about the notion of Space Junk. If you've never pondered the fact that we're constantly sending up satellites into space to circle the planet ad infinitum - take a look at this article to vaguely familiarize yourself with the concept.

Maybe I'm being embarrassingly ignorant here but is there some place that photos of all this junk exist? Anytime you see NASA photos there doesn't seem to be anything out there. Is it just not visible to the camera's eye? Been Photoshopped out?
