Tiangong-1 crash: everything you need to know

Most of China's broken eight-tonne space station will burn up, though there is a chance some parts will survive. Should you worry about getting hit?

China's prototype space station, Tiangong-1 or "heavenly place", is falling to Earth and could re-enter the atmosphere as soon as this week.

While most of the eight-tonne spacecraft is expected to burn up as it plummets through the atmosphere, there is a chance some of it will survive all the way down to the surface.
