It may not hit you guys but judging by this graphic, we on this side of the pond might be right in the firing line. At the very least we might get a nice light show in the sky!

If you are on Aukland Island or an icebreaker your odds might increase slightly. Otherwise, just look for the lightshow.

Look a bit ahead of the light, and you might spot the parts made of neutrinoes...  :noid

I just read this: "NASA has warned people not to touch any satellite part they might chance upon. There are no hazardous chemicals on board, but people can get hurt by sharp edges, the space agency said."

LMAO  :rofl Don't drink any water either.  You could choke to death  :old:

I dont blame them for putting that statement out there.


Knowing the idiots of these days, someone could find a piece of the satalite, purposely cut themselves on it, then sue NASA over it saying their equipment put the persons life at risk, or some b.s excuse to get money.

Recent update. Satellite was initailly thought not to be a US event.
However, satellite has slowed down to 16,487 mph and slowing decent.
Time for re-entry pushed to late Sat. night EST, or early Sun. morn, and may well
now be a North America evvent.
Just to show, they have not a clue where or when,lol.

For us who subscribe to Dish. I'm thinking we can watch this live from the Dish Earth Channel.
When it's below Dish's satellite, should see it.

Here in Scotland we have been warned that if any debris falls, to stay well away and immediatly inform the police.


Yea


Caus all of our local bobbies are well trained in dealing with fallen space debris! Just part of their daily job!

This morning a couple contacted the police, they found debris - with NASA painted on it - in their garden. Some kids had fun this night. :)
