China’s Tiangong-1 space station is sex videos of neighborsofficially no more.
According to multiple agencies tracking the space station’s movements, 34-foot-long spacecraft re-entered Earth’s atmosphere at 8:16 p.m. ET above the southern Pacific Ocean.

In all likelihood, the bits of space debris wouldn’t have landed in a populated area.

The odds of being hit by a falling piece of space junk about about 1 in 300 trillion, according to some estimates.
Until today, it wasn’t exactly clear when or where Tiangong-1 would re-enter. Tracking a fast-moving, uncontrolled spacecraft flying around the Earth every 90 minutes isn’t exactly easy.
As the day progressed, however, trackers managed to slowly narrow down where the station would fall.
Tiangong-1, which launched to space in 2011, got a lot of attention for its uncontrolled fall back through the atmosphere. Trackers have been keeping a close eye on the station’s descent for weeks, with the European Space Agency issuing updates every day for about the past week.
The station was visited by crews of taikonauts -- China’s astronauts -- over the course of its life in orbit. The Tiangong-2 station, Tiangong-1’s replacement, launched to space in 2016.
Both of the Heavenly Palace station are thought to be precursors to a large station China is planning to launch sometime in the 2020s.
