You might have a more robust chance of winning the lottery or running into Captain Kirk on the mall, but if it involves being impaled with pieces of the now defunct Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite because it plummets towards Earth, it’s better to be safe than sorry. The SatelliteAR Android app has added a short lived feature that provides stargazers the power to observe this space junk’s trajectory to prevent impact when it re-enters the ambience sometime later today. NASA has assured us that the bus-sized satellite won’t land anywhere in North America, but when it touches down at night, people at the ground could witness sweet light show wherever it does land. Android users determined to bypass a Wicked Witch of the East-like fate can download the app on the source link below and try the video demo after the break.
