POINT NEMO — Nations around the world bring down old spacecraft when possible in the most remote place on Earth called Point Nemo, Business Insider reported. <br /> <br />Smaller satellites burn up in the atmosphere upon reentry, but larger pieces can reach Earth's surface. <br /> <br />The spacecraft graveyard is around 1,450 nautical miles away from any land. It lies in the South Pacific in a no-man's land between Australia, New Zealand and South America, according to the BBC. <br /> <br />This oceanic pole of inaccessibility covers an area around 580 square miles (1,500 sq km) and is home to more than 260 dead spacecraft, mostly Russian, the BBC reported. <br /> <br />China lost control of its Tiangong-1 space station in March 2016, which is now expected to crash into the Earth by early 2018. <br /> <br />Since the Chinese are not in control of the spacecraft, they are currently unsure where pieces of the station will make contact. <br /> <br />Experts won't be able to make predictions until days before Tiangong-1 is expected to break up in the atmosphere.
