Debris from massive Chinese rocket expected to crash into Earth this weekend

The piece of a massive Chinese rocket that is hurtling towards Earth is expected to plunge through the atmosphere this weekend — but China insists it is highly unlikely to cause any harm.

The location of the Long March 5B rocket’s descent back to Earth “cannot be pinpointed until within hours of its reentry,” the US Space Command said. Experts have said that debris could fall anywhere from as far north as New York to as far south as New Zealand.
