The Jetsams

The third stage of the Saturn V rocket that lifted Apollo 12 off the face of the Earth has apparently re-entered Earth orbit after 30 years in a solar orbit. It encountered the atmosphere which caused it to brake enough for an orbital capture. Odds are it won't be a stable orbit, but will instead decay, dropping the irreplaceable piece of scientific history on someone's head as so many crispy cinders.

But still, how cool is that?
