Skylab Set for Wednesday Re‑entry Amid Uncertain Debris Path
NASA forecasts Skylab will fall from orbit between 5:54 a.m. and 6:24 p.m. EDT Wednesday, with a mid point at 12:09 p.m. The debris could scatter into the Indian Ocean if timing lands late, or over western Austria or even Australia or North America in later windows.
