The Chinese space station is approaching its entry point.
EDIT 4:29 PM PDT -- Right now the European Space Agency is predicting that it will land in the southern Pacific Ocean about several thousand miles west of South America. The map they displayed was so dark that I could not make out the continent until just now. Currently at 4:37 PM PDT, Tiangong is approaching India and is traveling East.
EDIT 4:29 PM PDT --The estimated time of entry is approximately 0030 UT plus or minus l hour 42 minutes. We are in the window of re-entry right now.
Edited to remove link as it was causing problems with my computer.

What happened?
The owner of this website (http://www.aerospace.org) does not allow hotlinking to that resource (/CORDSuploads/TiangongStoryboard.png).

That is weird. I did not hotlink, nor did I get an error message.
Perhaps their board was overwhelmed.
Nevertheless, something is weird as all the parameters on aerospace dashboard have disappeared. It is as if the Tiangong has crash landed, but no one says where it is or what time it crashed.
My husband just reported that CBS radio announced the crash of Tiangong into the South Pacific.
That site which I linked above has a problem. I do not know what has happened, but it seemed to lock up my computer when I tried to copy the address as a reference.
