A NASA spacecraft is expected to make an uncontrolled plunge back to Earth. Here are the risks
A massive space probe could plummet into Earth's atmosphere as soon as Tuesday evening -- years earlier than expected. And while most of the spacecraft will likely disintegrate in a flaming blaze during reentry, a few components could survive, according to NASA.

Sonic booms could be a new way to track falling space junk | CNN
Space junk falling out of orbit and crashing toward Earth is a growing threat. Indeed, old satellites and spacecraft parts reenter our planet's atmosphere more than three times a day.

Study shows how earthquake monitors can track space junk through sonic booms
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- As more and more space junk comes crashing down, a new study shows how earthquake monitors can better track incoming objects by tuning into their sonic booms.

The risk of falling space junk hitting airplanes is on the rise, experts warn
Space debris is a growing problem, and not just in Earth orbit.
Once a week, on average, a spacecraft (or part of one) falls back into Earth's atmosphere; most of these objects are empty rocket stages, but some are dead satellites whose low orbits finally decayed enough for them to slip into the atmosphere.
