A satellite will likely make an uncontrolled return through Earth’s atmosphere today, according to the latest estimates from the European Space Agency.
It says ERS-2, which weighs about as much as an adult male rhinoceros, is expected to re-enter at about 11:32 a.m. EST — plus or minus 4.6 hours. The agency can’t predict exactly when and where the satellite will re-enter because its return is “natural.”
Anything but metric
What’s this weird obsession with measuring everything in anything but metric? How am I supposed to know how much a rhino weighs?
Had they said 1500 - 2500kg it would have been clear as day.
But on a positive note I now know how much a rhino weighs.
