1.47am: Tiangong-1 is set to cross the Ivory Coast and Ghana next

The Chinese space station is set to cross Africa in minutes, according to Mr McDowell.

However, the astronomer noted that the prediction is based on “unreliable” data.

He said: “Based on the unreliable orbit extrapolation, next landfall is 00.52am UTC (1.52 GMT) over Cote d’Ivoire and Ghana.”

1.42am: No reports have emerged of the Chinese space station crossing South America yet - has it already crashed?

No reports have yet emerged of the Tiangong-1 station passing over South America, according to astronomer McDowell.

He added that it is still unclear whether the station is still in orbit.

Mr McDowell explained: “Didn’t get any reports yet of people seeing Tiangong over S America.

“No decay notice on Space-Track yet. Unclear if Tiangong is still in orbit or not.

“That’s normal, I’m afraid! We just have to wait…”
