A defunct Soviet spacecraft, Kosmos 482, is expected to crash back to Earth this week after spending over five decades in orbit. Initially launched in an attempt to reach Venus, the spacecraft is now tumbling uncontrollably, and experts have warned that it could land almost anywhere, including regions in Canada and possibly the UK. As the re-entry approaches, scientists are closely monitoring its trajectory, with predictions indicating it could hit various locations across the Western hemisphere. Observers are particularly concerned about the potential risks involved, as a car-sized probe descending from the atmosphere poses a threat to populated areas.
