Part of a spacecraft that has been stuck in orbit for 53 years is due to reenter Earth’s atmosphere around May 10 and could arrive intact.

A defunct Soviet -era spacecraft meant to land on Venus in the 1970s is poised for an uncontrolled descent back to Earth. Experts tracking space debris say it's too early to pinpoint where the half-ton mass of metal might come down or how much of it will survive reentry.
