Opening Activity-9/22

The article i read was about satelites that are currently in space, but have a great chance of re-entering our solar system and crashing into the ground. It is thought that on this Friday, 9/23, a satelite will plumit back to Earth. This satelite would be the biggest and heaviest satelite since the 75 ton Skylab fell back in 1979.

Wow. It is mind blowing that something that has been up in our solar system for so long is just now falling to the ground. It orbit must be getting closer and closer to Earth but i think it is actually kind of scary to think that something so big and significant will fall, especially because we don't know where it is going to fall. I just hope it doesn't fall on top of me.
