Hey, Space Placers!!!
NASA's video above supplements my blog entry from May 1st.
Also some BREAKING BIG NEWS From EarthSky.Org:
Soviet spacecraft to fall to Earth soon
"An unusual object is about to reenter Earth’s atmosphere. The heat-resistant Soviet spacecraft Kosmos 482 launched on March 31, 1972, bound for Venus. After a successful launch to a temporary orbit around Earth, a problem with a timer cut an engine burn prematurely. So the spacecraft was unable to leave our planet’s orbit. It’s been circling Earth for 53 years and will reenter the atmosphere around May 8 to 14, 2025, centered around May 11, according to satellite expert Marco Langbroek."
I will continue to monitor this story as more precise predictions as to date and predicted area of reentry become available.
