Watching several websites with "realtime" projections. Seems like it could be hours away.

"1.06am: The Tiangong-1 is nearing the end of its first orbit during its re-entry window. The Chinese space station that is set to hit Earth within hours is nearing the end of its first orbit during the re-entry period, Mr McDowell claimed. He said: “Approaching the end of Orbit 1 of the reentry window. Aerospace Corp seems to have an updated 132 x 140 km orbit, no updated Space-Track TLE yet." From a somewhat liveblog: https://www.express.co.uk/news/science/940114/Chinese-Tiangong-1-Space-Station-tracker-LIVE-expected-to-crash-midnight-tonight-latest

From Satflare, it is still 146 KM, which means a while to go. http://www.satflare.com/track.asp?q=37820#TOP

Satview still has it at 149 KM and going over 28 KPH.

Ain't metrification wonderful?

Most Americans don't have the foggiest clue what those measurements mean.
