A NASA satellite the size of a bus will hit the Earth sometime this afternoon - and scientists have little to no idea where it will land. 

The latest projections last night were that the defunct NASA satellite would tumble to Earth from space sometime this afternoon, but because the satellite is free-falling, the space agency and the U.S. Air Force cannot make a precise prediction about when and where it will hit.

The 13,000-pound Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite, or UARS, was about 115 miles above Earth yesterday. It had been slowly falling back to the planet since it completed its mission in 2005.

Measuring 35 feet long and 15 feet in diameter, the satellite was launched into orbit aboard the space shuttle Discovery in September 1991 to study ozone and other chemicals in the Earth’s atmosphere.

The Haunting Beauty of NGC 3190 —A Deadly Supernova Factory

—

This magnificent galaxy inspires us, again, to ask: does advanced life exist there? The fact that we have no proof of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe may simply mean that intelligent civilizations have all too finite lifetimes. NGC 3190 is a spiral galaxy of unbearable beauty in the constellation Leo. It was discovered by William Herschel in 1784. In 2002, astronomers uncovered one supernova in March in the southeastern part and then another team uncovered a second supernova on the other side two months later -sure destroyers of vicinity-based life.

The spectacular image below is the “Trio in Leo.” There is actually a fourth member of this group which not shown- but the group also goes by another catalogued name of “Hickson 44.” These galaxies are estimated to be 60 million light years away. The galaxy furthest to the left is an elliptical galaxy (NGC 3193) and is fairly devoid of detail. The top center of the image features NGC 3190.
