The news of the Chinese Long March 5B rocket that is expected to re-enter Earth’s atmosphere around May 8 has taken the world by shock. The 46,000-pound rocket was launched into orbit from Beijing last week. When the core part separated from the original structure, the rest of the rocket was supposed to follow the predetermined flight path into the ocean.

The US Space Department is tracking the location of the Chinese rocket yet its exact entry point cannot be pinpointed, at least hours before its entry, US Space Command Public Affairs, told CBS News.
