At 11:05 this morning, the Tiangong-1 will be almost directly overhead, it's path just slightly north of Puna.
We probably won't see it, but just in case the orbit deteriorates faster than expected, look to the northwest at 11:03 AM, overhead at 11:05 AM, then to the southeast at 11:08 AM. It will only be about 85 miles above us as it passes.
If the Tiangong-1 gets beyond Hawaii on this orbit, we should be in the clear when it does re-enter the atmosphere.
