ROSAT falls from the sky

EqualsThree:
Ugh, I keep misreading this thread title as "ROAST falls from the sky", which gets a bit frightening...
Or perhaps not.
Free Sunday Lunch, anyone?

Ah thx, i thought they might have been where it had been XD

China just didnt make the cut :P -
SPACE.com:
The satellite will break up into fragments, some of which will disintegrate due to intense re-entry heat. But studies predict that about 1.6 tons of satellite leftovers could reach the Earth’s surface. That's nearly half ROSAT's entire mass.
Woah, this thing could hit you if it's at the right place and you're at the wrong time. -
Hopefully on Jackeea.

No portion of Australia is safe for a satellite in a 53 degree inclination.

Hm. Sounds good, I hope it "lands" near me. :D
Prediction "landing" places:
UK
France
Germany (which would be kinda funny as it's a German satellite)
Looking at Heavens Above, on its next orbit it will fly over me. :D
(well, a bit south of me, but close enough)
About 10 minutes 'till it flies over, I reckon. :P
