          The estimated window of re-entry for the defunct Chinese space lab Tiangong-1 has narrowed sharply.

          The timeframe for the fall to Earth is centred on 01:07 Monday GMT (02:07 BST), plus or minus two hours.
          Space lab will fall to Earth 'within hours'

                  Some fish must have got a hell of a shock when this thing splashed down.

                    Most likely saved their lives ...


                    ... possibly choking on some form of plastic floating around; the shock of the impact made them cough it up again thus saving their lives! :thumbsup:
