More Space Junk Heading Our Way

Skywatchers predict that Southern Michigan is prime landing turf for a Chinese space station, Tian-gong 1, which was deactivated by the Chinese and is predicted to re-enter the atmosphere on April 3rd. Aerospace.org says the probability that a person would get struck by this debris is “about one million times smaller than the odds of winning the Powerball jackpot.”
Aerospace.org says.
“There is a chance that a small amount of Tiangong-1 debris may survive reentry and impact the ground. Should this happen, any surviving debris would fall within a region that is a few hundred kilometers in size and centered along a point on the Earth that the station passes over.”
