The rocket is rapidly approaching Earth. It is known from the picture that flames are also emanating from it. At present it is 435 miles above the earth.

Space agencies around the world are tracking the rocket as a precautionary measure before it hits the ground. The US government has warned that it could crash into the earth on Saturday, May 8, during which its debris It may rain.

At present the speed of the rocket is four miles per second. However, it is not clear where it will enter the earth. The size of the rocket is 100 feet long and 16 feet wide.
