An old six-ton NASA satellite that hurtled toward Earth on Friday is expected to crash in Africa, Washington and Australia, news agencies reported.
According to reports the US authorities have given an hour time for the crash whole the site of the crash may be the US capital or Australia and Africa.
The US space agency has stressed that the risk is “extremely small” of any of the 26 chunks expected to survive the fiery re-entry into Earth’s atmosphere hitting one of the planet’s seven billion people — a one in 3,200 chance.
“Re-entry is possible sometime during the afternoon or early evening of Sept. 23, Eastern Daylight Time,” NASA said on its website Thursday night.
“It is still too early to predict the time and location of re-entry with any more certainty, but predictions will become more refined in the next 24 hours.”
