" Second giant chunk of space junk heading for Earth. A defunct German space telescope weighing over two tons is forecast to collide with Earth less than five weeks after a satellite the size of a bus hits the planet.
Today an American spacecraft called the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite is expected to hit the Earth's surface, with a one in 3,200 chance it could hit someone. However a second satellite is set to smash into Earth next month and the odds are even shorter that it could come down in a populated area. The 2.4-ton Röntgensatellit, or ROSAT, has been spinning through space for 12 years after... more
