This is a normal post Yeah, and it missed you too.
The Chinese space station Tiangong crashed in the South Pacific, somewhere near Tahiti, around lunch-time today edit 00:15 GMT on Monday. Most of it probably burned up on entry, there may have been a couple of tons that got through.

*Edited to fix the time, see below

This is a normal post Where in the world was it lunchtime?
"It re-entered the atmosphere around 00:15 GMT on Monday, China's Manned Space Engineering Office said."

This is a normal post Oops, sorry,
My bad. I'd misremembered it as 12:15 GMT, not 0:15.

So, it was quarter-past Sunday.
