I haven’t seen anything on about this here so
“In 2016 Chinese officials confirmed they had lost control of the space station and it would crash to Earth in 2017 or 2018. China’s space agency has since notified the UN that it expects Tiangong-1 to come down between October 2017 and April 2018.Since then the station’s orbit has been steadily decaying. In recent weeks it has dipped into more dense reaches of Earth’s atmosphere and started falling faster.”

If you’re wondering where it will crash
The ESA predicted that fragments could fall over any spot within 43ºN and 43ºS, latitudes which encompass major Asian cities such as Beijing, Tokyo, Bangkok, Singapore and New Delhi. The Middle East, the African continent, parts of Europe such as Spain and Italy as well as American cities like San Francisco, New York and Miami are also within the latitude range.
The space agency explained that it is not possible to provide more precise landing locations.

I feel like this would be an important post to reblog lol
“wheres it gonna land”“haha honestly? we have uhhhhhhhhh not a fukken clue my dude. please dont ask again”
The sky is LITERALLY FALLING.
If you live in that peach-colored zone, you could be eating giant chunks of space station sometime in the next several days or months:
welp
So now we gotta watch out for shots from the police and space!?
OK, I’ve let this go by a few times now.
Look, space stations have done this before. Nobody ever knows where the pieces are gonna land. You literally cannot predict this, because it’s going to break up in a million pieces and they’re going to go all over the place, ok? And it’s going to break up into SMALL pieces, because physics (go look it up, I ain’t got the spoons), and a lot of those are going to burn up in the atmosphere. Most of the remainder are going to land in the water, because the planet is mostly water. Very few are going to come down near human habitation.
No one has ever been killed by a piece of falling space station. No one has ever been seriously injured, as far as I know. I’m pretty sure the most serious thing that’s ever happened is that Australia fined NASA for littering.
