The Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite plunged back to Earth between 11:23 p.m. ET and 1:09 ET, NASA said on its Web site. The re-entry time and location were still not known, the agency said, adding that the satellite was passing eastward over Canada and Africa, as well as vast portions of the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans during that period.
美國宇航局(NASA)在其網(wǎng)站發(fā)布消息稱，“高層大氣研究衛(wèi)星”于美東時(shí)間23日深夜11時(shí)23分至24日凌晨1時(shí)9分之間墜入地球大氣層。不過宇航局表示目前仍無法判斷其返回地球的時(shí)間和具體的墜落地點(diǎn)。其并補(bǔ)充道，在這段時(shí)間內(nèi)，衛(wèi)星將東移至加拿大和非洲，太平洋，大西洋和印度洋的廣大區(qū)域。

The fate of the satellite stirred online interest and speculation Friday and early Saturday. NASA said through Twitter that debris remained the property of the U.S. government and warned that people should not approach or touch any pieces they might come across.
周五及周六早上，衛(wèi)星的命運(yùn)牽絆著許多網(wǎng)友的心，引起了廣泛關(guān)注及猜測。美國宇航局在Twitter上表示，衛(wèi)星殘骸仍歸美國政府所有，并提醒人們不要靠近或者觸摸可能碰到的任何碎片。

The satellite was expected to re-enter between 11:45 p.m. Friday and 12:45 a.m. Saturday. A day earlier, NASA had said it expected re-entry on Friday afternoon.
據(jù)推測，衛(wèi)星將于（美東時(shí)間）周五深夜11時(shí)45分至周六中午12時(shí)45分返回地球。一天前，美國宇航局稱衛(wèi)星將于周五下午返回地球。
