NASA scientists are trying to pinpoint where a six-ton satellite will plummet to Earth later this week.

Right now, scientists predict the earliest it'll hit is tomorrow and at the latest, on Saturday. NASA says no need to take cover because the satellite will first break into pieces, and scientists put the chances that someone will get hurt at 1 in 3,200.
