Some people in Northern California saw a show in the sky as some space junk made its way back to Earth.
Our sister station KGO-TV spoke with an astronomer for the Smithsonian, who said it was a piece of a satellite antenna from the International Space Station.It had been orbiting the earth's atmosphere for several years, and experts knew it would re-enter sometime on Friday, but they didn't know exactly when or exactly where. It ended up soaring over Sacramento around 9:30 p.m. Friday.
McDowell says there was no danger to anyone who witnessed it. It would break into very small bits before hitting the ground.Copyright © 2023 KGO-TV. All Rights Reserved.
