The European Space Agency has revised its prediction for when free-falling Tiangong-1 will crash into Earth.
The out-of-control Chinese space station will crash down back to Earth over Easter weekend, experts have said.
According to the European Space Agency's Space Debris Office in Darmstadt, Germany, debris from Tiangong-1 will splash down between March 30 and April 2 across the northern hemisphere.
The space agency said these dates were "highly variable" and that it would be offering revised forecasts every couple of days.
"At no time will a precise time/location prediction from ESA be possible," it explained in a statement .
"This forecast was updated approximately weekly through to mid-March, and is now being updated every 1~2 days."

Mine too. Maybe my house will be featured next year in one of those Allstate commercials. “We covered it on March 24, 2018”.

Oops. State Farm. Not Allstate.
