Space Junk Update: NASA UAR Satellite is now History

NASA reported that the UAR satellite re-entered the Earth's atmosphere somewhere over the Pacific ocean between about 11pm Friday night and 1 am Saturday morning.  It is likely all of the debris fell somewhere in the vast Pacific Ocean, so officials are not quite sure exactly where the pieces of space junk are to be found.

 CNN reported that there may have been sightings of burning debris streaking across the skies in Hawaii as well as possibly in Texas.
