The roughly 30-meter (100ft) core of the rocket is among the expected debris that would fall onto earth, which could possibly cause some degree of damage. Jonathan McDowell, astrophysicist at Harvard University, has described the impact as, "equivalent of a small plane crash scattered over 100 miles”. 


Now, where could it land on to?

According to the estimations, lands at risk are somewhere between southern regions of Spain, Portugal, and Italy down to Australia. Experts have also estimated that the rocket may finally reach earth between 8th to 10th May, but the exact time is quite impossible to track down.
