When a huge space station loses touch with the earth’s center control and begins to fall uncontrollably, threatening life earthlings, this may seem like a scenario from some science fiction movie. However, we are currently experiencing something similar in reality.
The fact is that China’s huge orbital station, called Tiangong-1, launched in 2011, two years later no longer operated and in theory should be safely destroyed, then is “launched” to Earth under the control of a control center like this was, for example, with the Russian station “Mir”. However in 2016 Earth control center lost control of Tiangong-1, and eventually precisely in this 2018, and specifically in the period from March 29 to 9 April, the Celestial orbital station will enter into dense layers Earth’s atmosphere and will begin to fall on its surface.

However, scientists have already calculated that the angle of entry of Tiangong-1 in the atmosphere will be such that it will not allow a huge orbital the station is completely burned, and therefore its fragments, and solid, will collapse to the surface of our planet. Where will they collapse and what will it be the territory of their coverage, no one can calculate. Specialists European Space Agency reports that they are only a day can more or less accurately indicate the area where the fragments will land Tiangong-1, and even this data will be very approximate.

Currently, all that is known is that all areas located between 43 ° north latitude and 43 ° south latitude (see map a little higher) are at risk get this “space hit”.
