Get ready for a cosmic event! A hefty 500 kg former Soviet spacecraft, Kosmos 482, is set to plummet back to Earth, and it’s not what you think—it's not an asteroid! This colossal piece of history, weighing in at about 453 kg (or 1,000 pounds), is scheduled to make its fiery reentry into the atmosphere between May 8 and May 11 this year.

Space enthusiasts and curious onlookers alike are on edge as the reentry date approaches. While most debris burns up upon reentering, there’s a chance that some remnants could survive and land in unpopulated areas.

Kosmos 482, a relic of the Soviet space program, has been orbiting the planet since its launch, and now it’s making a dramatic return. Experts are closely monitoring its trajectory to predict the most likely landing sites.

Stay tuned as we bring you updates on this thrilling space saga, and let’s hope for a safe landing!
