When you are asked, “What is it?” this weekend, here’s your answer: Long March 5B, a 44,000-pound rocket body spinning toward Earth. But scientists aren’t sure when and where this debris is — from the Chinese launch last Sunday Wentian space station module — about to land. The Aerospace Corporation did release the latest prediction path for the debris – with the disclaimer that it’s too early to be sure. Experts believe that 20 percent to 40 percent of the massive rocket’s body mass will survive its fiery journey through Earth’s atmosphere to the planet’s surface, but not intact. Seventy percent of the planet is covered in oceans, so the odds are that whatever remains of the rocket will land in water, but that’s not guaranteed. Shrugging in response to the potential danger of the Long March 5B debris is nothing new. Aaron Boley, co-director of the Outer Space Institute and planetary astronomer at the University of British Columbia, said about 70 percent of rockets that orbit and r

China said it was tracking the wreckage of a large, newly launched rocket at the time reenter the earth’s atmosphere this weekend in what Beijing says will pose little risk to anyone on the ground. The Long March 5B rocket launched Sunday to deliver a laboratory module to the Chinese space station under construction, marking the third flight of China’s most powerful rocket since its maiden launch in 2020. As happened during its first two flights, the entire main core stage of the rocket – which is 100 feet (30 meters) long and weighs 22 tons (about 48,500 lb) – has reached low orbit and is expected to fall back to Earth after the atmosphere. friction drags it down, according to American experts. Ultimately, the rocket body will disintegrate as it falls through the atmosphere but is large enough that many chunks will likely survive re-entry into the debris rain over an area about 2,000 km (1,240 mi) long by about 70 km wide. based analysts said on Wednesday.
