Space agencies are tracking the path of a Chinese rocket that is predicted to fall back to Earth some time in the next few days.
Last week, the Long March 5B rocket launched the first stage of the Chinese space station Tianhe into low-Earth orbit.
Under international guidelines, rockets are supposed to return to Earth in a controlled way, but the 30-metre-long rocket is spiralling out of control.
Weighing around 22.5 tonnes, it's one of the most massive pieces of space junk to make an uncontrolled re-entry to Earth.
"This is probably among the top 10 largest objects to come down inone piece," said space junk expert Ted Muelhaupt of the Aerospace Corporation, a not-for-profit organisation that advises US government space and defence agencies.


Time frame " At the time of writing, they predicted the rocket would fall to Earth at lunchtime this Sunday (AEST) give or take a day or so.

Others have given a time range of between 11:00am on Saturday and 5:00am on Monday.
But expect that to change as new data comes in. "

Haven't visited Fort since I lived there in around 85. I see no reason to rectify that. I'll bet Bowen Terrace hasn't changed a bit....

Figures. Walking distance to the CBD. It was a little seedy back then, but there were some very nice houses along there. They'll be gone.

I hope it's unmanned, or the occupants will have to quarantine for a couple of weeks.
