The Chinese rocket could hit the earth on Saturday night!


Pieces of China's largest rocket Long March 5-B, which was launched towards the earth at an uncontrolled speed, may hit the earth next Saturday night. It is 100 feet long and weighs 21 tons.

Mike Howard, a spokesman for the U.S. Department of Defense, told CNN that the idea is that China's Long March 5B rocket could enter Earth's atmosphere on May 8. However, US space command is tracking the rocket.

Aerospace.org has already tracked the rocket. It could enter the Earth's atmosphere around 9:30 pm on May 8. However, it has been reported that the time may change.

A Reuters report said the remnants of a Chinese rocket launched last week were expected to cross the atmosphere and land or land in a matter of days.

On April 29, the Long March 5B rocket was launched from the Chinese island of Hainan with the Tianhe module into Earth orbit.

The Tianhe module is a very important part of the permanent space station under construction in China. The living quarters of the three crew members of the station have been moved to this module.

China will conduct a total of 11 missions in orbit to set up space stations. In the first of these, the Tianhe module was sent into orbit by the ‘Long March 5B’ rocket.

A spokesman for the U.S. Department of Defense said it would not be possible to say exactly which part of Et would enter Earth until a few hours before it entered the Earth's atmosphere. However, the tracking update will be informed on the website.

Jonathan McDowell, an astrophysicist at Harvard University's Astrophysics Center, said the area could be hit by an ocean or a secluded area, although it was not known where it would hit.

Earlier in May 2020, fragments of another Chinese Long March 5B rocket landed in Ivory Coast; McDowell told Reuters that several buildings were damaged but no one was injured.

The U.S. 16th Space Control Squadron monitors the movements of more than 26,000 man-made objects in space, most of them near Earth in the lower part of orbit, according to the space command.
