Forecast: Expect Clear Skies, Falling Object (UPDATED)

Sometime later tonight to early Monday morning, an 8.5 ton piece of Chinese space junk will reenter the atmosphere and crash to earth. The Tiangong 1 space station is expected to crash in a band 43 degrees north to 43 degrees south, meaning most of the U.S., China, Africa, South America and Australia are in the wide path. Scientists say that the reentry burn-up will destroy about 90% of the spacecraft, which would still leave 1,700 pounds of bad news coming down for a surprise landing.

Heads up!

UPDATE:  Most of the surviving space junk landed in the Pacific, so you can resume your normal activities!
