It's very hard for the earth to "leave things behind" due to the great gravitational force of the earth on all objects, and things like rockets are too small to see with teh naked eye anyhow.

Escape velocity is 7 miles a second or 25,000 mph.
The only things that escape are minor amounts of gases, and space probes.

Not much is left behind, since it would need escape velocity.
