Happy Monday, listeners. For Scientific American Science Quickly, I'm Rachel Feldman.

Let's catch up on some of the science news you may have missed last week.

First, a space junk update.

By the time you listen to this, a Soviet-era spacecraft may or may not have crash-landed on Earth.

Cosmos 482, which the USSR launched back in 1972, was meant to follow the successful probes,

Venera 7 and Venera 8 in landing on and studying Venus.

But a suspected engine malfunction meant that Cosmos 482 never achieved enough velocity to escape Earth's orbit.

It's been orbiting our planet ever since and losing altitude along the way.

Some of Cosmos 482 already fell back down to Earth decades ago, but one last big chunk

has held on for more than half a century.

Last week, researchers said Cosmos 482 would probably make its uncontrolled descent over the weekend.

Its potential landing zone stretched from 52 degrees north to 52 degrees south latitude, which

covers pretty much everywhere except for Antarctica and

like places where you can see the northern lights.

There's a chance that the 1,000 dish or so pound lander, which was designed to withstand

Venus's atmosphere, will hit Earth in one piece.

That could be bad if it happens to crash in a populated area, but it's statistically more likely to hit the ocean or some uninhabited patch of land.
