X is a phenomenon that is estimated to be twice the size of Texas. Despite its size and density, X is not visible from satellite photography because it consists of very small pieces, almost invisible to the naked eye, and most of its contents are suspended beneath the surface.
X is especially harmful to the wildlife and ecosystem of the area where it resides.
