A fragment of the failed Soviet Venus probe Cosmos 482 is expected to reenter Earth's atmosphere around May 10, though experts say the exact timing and location remain uncertain.

The Soviet Union's failed Kosmos 482 Venus spacecraft is set to make a somewhat delayed reappearance as it slams into the Earth in the next few weeks. Between 1961 and 1984, the Soviet Union launched a series of space probes in order to study the second-closest planet to the Sun.
