Here, we bring to you the facts and details of Tiangong-1 - the space station!
About Tiangong-1 - The Space Station!
Tiangong-1 in Chinese means the "heavenly palace". It was apparently launched into the orbit in the year 2011, since then it has been undertaking experiments in space. One of the large parts of the test was to have a permanent station in space by the year 2023.
It Was Supposed To Be Withdrawn After 2 Years

The Scientist Had To Release A Note On The Upcoming Event
Since people panicked, the scientists had to immediately release statements about the entire event. They revealed that the space station was not out of control and people are not under any kind of a danger.
But Where Would It Land At?
It is pretty challenging to predict the time of re-entry of the space station, and the scientists are finding it to be even more challenging to get the precise location. One of the leading scientists named Abraham said, "One thing we do know is that [Tiangong-1] will re-enter between 43 degrees North and 43 degrees South latitude, but beyond that we don't know the precise location."
This Is Not The First Space Station To Hit Back The Earth’s Surface
According to sources, Tiangong-1 is not the first or even the largest structure to hit back the surface of the planet. Apparently, the largest structure was a 268,000-pound Russian Mir space station, which made a controlled descent and splashed down in the Pacific Ocean in the year March 2001.
There Is A Fear Of The Debris Hitting The Earth!
Authorities reveal that the space station was still under their control and they would guide it to a safe place before it hits the atmosphere, where it will burn up on entering the atmosphere and the remaining wreckage will fall into a designated area of the sea, and would not endanger the surface.
About The Debris
Most of the times, the old satellite debris often re-enter the Earth's atmosphere, but it typically burns up upon re-entry long before it reaches the Earth's surface. It is revealed that the station contains large amounts of toxic chemicals, including hydrazine, which is a known carcinogen that has been linked to cancer in humans. Hence, if any individual would come in contact with the debris, he/she needs to avoid touching it with bare hands!
A Little Trivia
To the present date, there is only one single person named Lottie Williams of Tulsa, of Oklahoma, who has been hit by the space debris. According to reports, she was struck on the shoulder by a small piece of a rocket's fuel tank in the year 1997 while she was out for a walk!
