Don't panic!

That's the advice from astronomers when talking about the return of China's out-of-control first space station, Tiangong-1.

As soon as Saturday night or Easter Sunday, the space junk is currently forecast to make a fiery plunge through Earth's atmosphere.

This is no April Fool's joke.

Jonathan McDowell, an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, tells our Burton Fitzsimmons that most of the debris will burn up well before reaching the ground.

Exactly when and where that will happen is still, well, up in the air.

See the above video for the complete interview and be sure to stay tuned to Spectrum News through the weekend for updates.
