💨 Abstract

The Soviet spacecraft Kosmos 482, launched in 1972 for a mission to Venus, will re-enter Earth's atmosphere on Friday or Saturday after 53 years in orbit. Due to a timer issue, it never left Earth's orbit. To spot it, use the Heavens Above website for location-specific viewing information. You may need binoculars, and it will appear as a fireball if seen re-entering.
