Satellite To Hit The Earth

Out-of-control US satellite is tumbling back to earth and the images were captured by an amature astronomer.

The six-tonne, 20-year-old spacecraft has fallen out of orbit and is there is a chance that the satellite will hit the earth on 24 of September.

The US space agency says the risk is about 1 in 3,200.

Mr Legault, used a specially designed camera to record the tumbling satellite through his 14-inch telescope

Most of the satellite will break or burn on its way down says NASA.

But scientists say that there are around 26 pieces that can survive and fall down including a fuel tank
