Maybe, millennia ago as our ancestors first moved out over the whole world in a big way, there were more comets than usual lighting up the ancient night sky. Because, it turns out, the Earth and our solar system had a visitor pass by closely not all that long ago, in cosmic time anyway. Close enough that their respective Oort Clouds would have interacted and possibly kicked up more comets careening into the inner solar system. Maybe even close enough that a really, really fast traditional rocket-powered spacecraft might have been able to get there for a flyby on human time scales:
The two objects in the system are a bit odd; one is a very low-mass red dwarf star, barely a star at all (it's type M9), and the other really isn't a star but a brown dwarf, an object more massive than a planet but lacking the mass needed to ignite sustained nuclear fusion in its core (which is what makes a star a star).
This would have happened about 70,000 years ago. A long time, but not as long as it sounds! There were anatomically modern humans that long ago, about to break out of their African homeland and spread all over the world, where they would encounter Neanderthals in Ice Age Europe and possibly extant Denisovans further east. In fact, you and I may still carry the genetic heritage of one or both of those now extinct types of humans.
The ESA makes it clear that the estimated window of re-entry is "highly variable," but for now the station is expected to fall between March 30 and April 3. We also don't know where it will fall exactly, but more accurate predictions about that will appear a couple of days before it happens.
Adding to the importance of the special footage, the creature can be seen to emit bioluminescence from the tips of its long, whisker-like structures on its face that are used to attract prey – this had never been seen before.
