The AMS says that the fiery display was caused by the re-entry and disintegration of the Chinese rocket body CZ-4B, which was launched on May 10, 2012, from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in China. "Orbits are not perfect, they decay over time and that's due to lots of different things, but ultimately it's due to gravity. If it doesn't have enough fuel to ignite its engine and keep it in that stable orbit then it will slowly decay." - See more at:
