How to observe the 8.5-ton space station is falling indefinitely to Earth

The final images of Thien Cung 1 space station will be broadcast live from 19h on March 28 (Vietnam time).

Heavenly Palace 1 will ignite when it falls into the atmosphere of the Earth's right from March 30 to April 2.

According to the European Space Center (ESA), the exact time that China's Tiangong-1 space station (Thien Cung 1) will fall to Earth is unknown, but they forecast between 30 / April 3 to 2. When falling, the components of this space station will burn, but do not rule out the possibility that there are still a few debris weighing up to 100kg falling to the ground.

Currently, the information surrounding Thien Cung 1 is the focus of scientific attention worldwide. To view the journey of this space station directly, internet users can access the V irtual Telescope at the address at 19:00 pm on March 28 (Vietnam time) . The Virtual Telescope is a non-profit project, which will report live the Thien Cung 1 movement based on data from partner observatories.

weighing 8.5 tons, was out of control in 2016, making a forecast and station predictable, but the time and location are not predictable until close to "G hour". Not long ago, Holger Krag, head of the ESA's Space Experimental Office, said: "Based on the space station's orbital shape, we can rule out the possibility of some debris out of the sky. Line 43 degrees north and 43 degrees south ".
