China's Tiangong-1 space station might be back on Earth in time for 'The Walking Dead'

The Tiangong-1 should complete its fiery journey back to Earth sometime on Sunday night.

The Chinese space station has been circling the planet in a gradually degrading orbit since it was decommissioned in late 2016. It is now expected to re-enter Earth’s atmosphere — and mostly burn up in the process — sometime before 12:00 a.m. ET.

In fact, the latest estimate as of Sunday morning — from noted astronomer Jonathan McDowell — points to a significantly earlier re-entry, sometime during the 6:00 p.m. ET hour.
