China confirmed in a press conference, that Tiangong-1, their first space station put into orbit in 2011, will re-enter and burn up in the atmosphere sometime in late 2017. There seems to be some uncertainty in when it will re-enter the atmosphere, which leads one to believe that the station is not under orbital control and that it will come back to Earth in the same manner that Skylab did in 1979.

Objects on earth are still in the universe. Materials in the atmosphere are also still in the universe. Keep an eye on your dumb-o-meter, or the universe may spit you out!
