If you bring up your Galaxy screen you can see who your nieghbors are. When I first checked this out I remember there being 12 of 15 planets populated in my system. What I don't recall noticing was a debris field around planet 8. I'm pretty sure this is new.
Did someone get attacked since yesterday resulting in a debris field? Maybe I am in danger of getting attacked! In space, no one can hear you pee your pants.
But it might be part of my new abilities. Once my Reseach Lab got to level 3 (I think) I got some options for research: Espionage, Computer, Armour and Energy. I researched Espionage technology and thought that would be about using probes for seeing what's on other planets. I'm not sure so checking the OGame Wiki which has some good info here, but I'm still not sure if this debris field happened recently or not.
Searching the boards leads to confusing discussion on espionage levels and counter espionage levels. I'll just wait to figure it out when I need to find out about a possible raid target. One thing I did learn... esp is short for espionage.
I am such a n00b!

Just remember that looking at that Galaxy screen costs you Deterium (5 for each page look, I believe).
The debris field is from another fleet destroyed, you bet. Or some solar satellites, etc. It will be gone soon, because the attacker is going to use a RECYLER ship to claim it. Oh yeah, baby, there are hunters among us.
BUT that doesn't mean they're after you. Did you know that if you join an alliance, you can park your ships at your teammates planets to create massive unstoppable fleets? It's alled ACS (i think) and we should do that someday.
ESPIONAGE: Level 4 gives you warning when others are coming for you
COMPUTER: you can command more than one fleet per level past the initial LEVEL ONE.
ARMOR and ENERGY...um...look at that TECHNOLOGY screen on the left panel and it will show you what you need to get what toy. GREEN means you have it, RED means you need it. The higher the level demands, the cooler the toy.
You can have your own DEATH STAR one day.
Yeah, I read that it costs 10 deut for each page look.
Yeah, hunters amonst us. I read about Newbie Protection on the OGame Wiki. From what I understand we have some protection from the big dogs unti we get to 5000 points. That's a ways yet.
I didn't know about parking your fleets, but I did read that ACS lets you put your fleets together to attack a bigger opponent.
Search the boards for [wayne] they did a massive Interplanetary Missile Attack against some guy (Neon?) with a huge defense built on his homeworld. I don't understand it all but the people who commented on the thread said it was the most awesome thing. I felt kinda sorry for Neon, but that's the way it goes.
I have Espionage level 3 for now. Level 4 is coming soon, hehe :)
I have Energy level 3 and that's enough to qualify me to build a small cargo ship, which I've done.
Armor... I left that alone for now.
I want a Death Star sooo baaad!
Here's the link to that story about using ACS to take out a big player. TFYI they call the players who build slowly with lots of defenses "Turtles".
