The state of Michigan is on alert for a possible space debris landing as an out-of-control Chinese space station is set to make landfall sometime in the next few days.

Gov. Rick Snyder, R-Mich., activated the state’s Emergency Operations Center this week in anticipation for China's Tiangong-1 space station to re-enter the Earth’s atmosphere this weekend, according to the Detroit Free Press .

The Aerospace Corporation said the 8.5 ton space station has the potential to hit the southern lower peninsula of Michigan, although it is unlikely. The space debris may contain hydrazine, a highly toxic and corrosive substance and anyone who comes in contact with it is asked to stay away and call 911.

"When considering the worst-case location... the probability that a specific person (i.e., you) will be struck by Tiangong-1 debris is about 1 million times smaller than the odds of winning the Powerball jackpot," the Aerospace Corporation said in a statement.
