Map of DOOM

The Irish Sun newspaper -- and you have to love anything associated with The Sun because they always bring sensationally fun times -- provided readers/viewers with a map of the parts of the Earth where the Russian Kosmos 482 spacecraft, originally destined for Venus, has a chance to crash.

The map:

I mean, it is accurate. The map does show the surface of the Earth over which the ailing piece of space junk does orbit. So they're not wrong. The lack of precision, of course, is the fun part.

Other sites have a bit more accuracy going for them, such as this one.

They offer some interesting suggested paths; with the third one (bottom) passing pretty much over my city on the 12th, if that's the day it comes down. (Other lines are, top, May 10; middle, May 11). The predicted day is the 10th.

This one, curiously, suggests the probe's parachutes may have deployed in space. Neat.
