A spacecraft launched by the Soviet Union in 1972 is due to come crashing back into Earth's atmosphere around May 10 and nobody knows where it will land.

When it launched in the spring of 1972, Kosmos 482 was meant to land on Venus. Instead, it’s on track to land a little closer to home... and half a century

A defunct Soviet probe designed to land on Venus will have an uncontrolled reentry this month and pieces of it may make it to Earth's surface.
