On Tuesday, June 21, Europe's space freighter ATV-Johannes Kepler will return to Earth somewhere over the Pacific Ocean, bringing with it trash from the International Space Station. The freighter and its cargo will be incinerated by the heat generated once it hits our atmosphere (story and video of Jules Verne): http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-13795156
