NASA's ERBS returning to Earth after 38 years in space
NASA's Earth Radiation Budget Satellite (ERBS) is expected to enter Earth on Sunday, nearly four decades after the agency sent it to space.
After a long journey, the satellite is set to fall back into the planet today at approximately 6:40 PM ET, give or take 17 hours.
Since the ERBS will mostly burn up when it reaches here, it is likely to be less harmful.

While the initial assumption was that the satellite would only survive for two years, it exceeded expectations.
However, according to the Engadget, the ERBS only achieved a little.
It was launched in 1984 to collect ozone and atmospheric measurements until 2005 and help in understanding how Earth absorbed and radiated solar energy.
