Real-time interactive map lets you track the out-of-control Chinese space station carrying toxic chemicals that could crash into Earth next WEEK
Experts predict that the satellite could crash into Earth next week but the exact date remains unknown
The Tiangong-1 spacecraft has been out of control since September 2016 and carries hazardous chemicals
Aerospace predicts several densely populated cities such as Barcelona, Beijing, Rome or Toronto could be hit
An interactive map from SatView allows you to track its fiery demise in real-time and it predicts Tiangong-1 should reenter the atmosphere at 07:37 GMT on the 3rd April over New Zealand

An out-of-control Chinese space station carrying ‘highly toxic’ chemicals could crash into Earth between March 30 and April 6.
Now, an interactive map from SatView allows you to track its fiery demise in real-time.
There are two maps available; the largest one shows the past path and the predicted path as a series of dots, whilst the smaller inset map shows the space station’s exact location above Earth at any given moment.
According to experts tracking the space station, it has the highest chance of crashing into cities along a narrow strip around latitudes of 43 degrees north and south.
This includes a number of highly populated cities including New York, Barcelona, Beijing, Chicago, Istanbul, Rome and Toronto.
At the time of writing, SatView predicts that Tiangong-1 should reenter the atmosphere at 07:37 GMT on the 3rd April over New Zealand.
The Satview map shows several different satellites in orbit, including the Hubble telescope and the International Space Station.
The larger map which shows the dots revealing the satellite’s route is produced by Satview.
The second map is powered by USstratcom (United States Strategic Command) and then overlaid on to Google Maps.
