Out-of-control Soviet spacecraft could crash into the UK this WEEK
70% Informative
Scientists predict that a 500kg (1,100lbs) section of the Kosmos 482 satellite could hit our planet anywhere between May 9 and May 13 .
The UK , along with all of the world's most populated cities, is directly in the firing line.
Even the experts aren't sure exactly where or when it will come down.
The most likely scenario is that the craft will land in the oceans, which cover 70 per cent of Earth 's surface.
It wouldn't be the first time that so-called 'space junk' has crash-landed in an inhabited area.
Last year , a mysterious ring of fiery debris from a launch rocket crashed down in a Kenyan village.
And a smartphone-sized chunk of garbage from the International Space Station failed to burn up during its descent through Earth 's atmosphere.
