Chinese rocket debris crashes to Earth over Indian Ocean, Sulu Sea

A big piece of Chinese space junk has crashed back to Earth.

The 25-ton (22.5 metric tons) core stage of a Long March 5B rocket reentered Earth's atmosphere over the Indian Ocean this afternoon (July 30), ending its brief but controversial orbital stay.

The Chinese Manned Space Agency said most of the debris had burned up on re-entry over the Sulu Sea, a body of water between the island of Borneo and the Philippines.

The possibility, however slight, that debris from the rocket could strike a populated area had led people around the world to track its trajectory for days.
