Quote: The center says parts of the minivan-sized satellite will burn up during re-entry but up to 30 fragments weighing a total of 1.87 tons...

Those are some potentially big pieces!

Good plan, since the Germans are the only ones with any money left!

Has it touched down yet?

You can track it live. It's over the Pacific right now. It takes a second for it to focus on the satellite's path.

Satellite Will Fall to Earth, but No One Is Sure Where
November 6, 2013

A European satellite that mapped Earths gravitational field in exquisite detail will be pulled down by gravity to its fiery destruction sometime in the next few days.

Weird. When I looked earlier it had passed North America and heading for Europe. Now it's in Wisconsin. :waitasec:

Does each state have a red dot over it? I'm paranoid!

I think it recognizes your location. My province has a red dot over it. Creepy, eh

Now it appears in eastern canada :scared:

Phew! Dodged that bullet! :floorlaugh:

Geez it's heading for Europe again. Does it go back and forth? How accurate is this live real time tracking device?

Not just yet it keeps coming back to North America. :back:

It's in the Atlantic Ocean now heading for Portugal. This thing moves quick.

The map that comes up for me shows it to be in Algeria. Am I on the wrong one?
