The event will go unnoticed by most of the world, but the astronomers who track near-Earth objects are all in a tizzy over it. WT1190F's atmospheric re-entry is a rare opportunity for scientists to study how incoming objects interact with our atmosphere.

According to scientists, the curious object could be anything from a piece of recent lunar mission or a part of an Apollo program.

WT1190F travels a highly elliptical orbit, swinging out twice as far as the Earth-Moon distance, Gray says.

Though WT1190F might not pose a danger there have been many different proposals over the years as to how to deal with the growing problem of space junk, which could pose a risk for astronauts in space and those on Earth as well. With current survey technology, astronomers have found most objects larger than one kilometer across, but tracking smaller debris is hit or miss-mostly miss. [...]
