Little bits of the sky will be falling sometime this weekend into Monday:
A European satellite that ran out of fuel will start falling in the next few days, and fragments of the disintegrating 2,000-pound spacecraft are expected to strike the Earth's surface.
Nobody knows where or when the fragments will hit, but the European Space Agency has said the parts are likely to fall into the ocean or unpopulated areas. Potential spots will be narrowed down closer to re-entry, ESA said on its website.
See the map below from the European Space Agency for real time positioning. Odds are the debris will fall harmlessly into an ocean somewhere, but you never know. Have a good weekend. :)
