The wreckage of the 22-ton Chinese CZ-5B missile returned to Earth on Saturday night and fell into the waters of the Indian Ocean.
The US Space Administration confirmed that the debris re-entered the planet’s atmosphere at around 12:45 PM ET, thankfully without impacting any habitable zone.
The videos, however, from people that had the chance to capture the re-entry of CZ-5B are amazing:
