Vincent Perry+FollowSpace Junk From the '70s Might Crash SoonHeads up: a chunk of an old Soviet spacecraft, Cosmos 482, is about to make a surprise return to Earth after 50+ years in orbit. It was supposed to go to Venus in 1972, but its engines fizzled out, leaving it circling our planet instead. Now, NASA says it could re-enter the atmosphere any day, but no one knows exactly where it’ll land. Talk about an unexpected blast from the past! #SpaceNews #Cosmos482 #SpaceJunk #History #CoffeeBreak #Business00Share
Nicholas Coleman+FollowSpace Junk Roulette: Where Will It Land?So, a chunk of a Soviet Venus probe from the 1970s is about to crash back to Earth after 50 years in orbit—and no one knows exactly where it’ll land. This isn’t your average shooting star; it’s got a heat shield built for Venus, so it might actually survive re-entry. The possible landing zone? Anywhere from Chile to Scotland. Just another reminder that what goes up (even space junk) eventually comes down—sometimes right in your backyard! #SpaceJunk #Cosmos482 #CoffeeBreakNews #MoneyLifehacks #DidYouKnow #Business50Share
