Tiangong-1 Predicted to Hit Earth On Sunday

Forecasts from the European Space Agency’s Space Debris Office and the US-based Aerospace Corp. predict that China’s falling space station, the Tiangong-1, will most likely plummet to Earth on Sunday night at around 730pm ET. The craft was originally thought likely to crash as early as Saturday . Per Space.com, estimates of the doomed station’s final re-entry time still vary considerably, but ESA officials have now pushed back their prior assessment of Tiangong-1 after observed solar phenomena failed to speed up its rate of descent.
