It is feared debris from China's recent rocket launch, the Long March 5B, will crash back to Earth at an unknown location.

The rocket was launched on July 24 from the Wenchang launch site in Hainan province, carrying the Wentian experiment module, a new solar-powered lab, to China's Tiangong Space Station. Due to its large size, there are concerns that not all of the ejected first-stage rocket will burn up in the atmosphere as it falls, instead, crash landing somewhere on the planet.
