Latest prediction for re-entry is between 7pm and 11pm (local time) on Sat night and if this happens, it will fall into the Pacific Ocean, but in reality its only a good guess and they don't really know!

hello,
latest news of Nasa is in their afternoon of Friday, so for us it is evening then. There are no passes above their head (N America) in their afternoon! But there are passes above our heads in our evening. We must have the chance it will happen around following moments:
2011-09-23 21:05 UT SE h=23
2011-09-23 22:40 UT N h=28
2011-09-24 00:10 UT N h=18
2011-09-24 01:40 UT N h=63
2011-09-24 03:05 UT SW h=9
so hopefully it will be that one (for the height) of 01:40
let's hope...

Interesting article below about a German X-Ray Telescope which is due for re-entry sometime between October and December of this year. They reckon upto 30 pieces of this one could re-entry and have a total weight of 1.5 tonnes! Also below is link to a website which shows when re-entry events have happened and will happen
