• The Chinese space station Tiangong-1 is in its final hours and will most likely fall to Earth early in the morning on April 1.
• Maximilian Teodorescu, a researcher from Romania, was able to capture images of Tiangong-1 passing in front of the sun.
• It'll likely be one of the last times we see Tiangong-1 — at least, aside from debris that is likely to survive the burn and land on Earth.

The bus-sized Chinese space station Tiangong-1, known as "Heavenly Palace," is whipping around our planet in the final hours before it burns into Earth's atmosphere. In the very near future, it will break up, with some of its debris likely falling to Earth.

In these final hours, Maximilian Teodorescu, a scientific researcher with the National Institute for Lasers and Plasma in Bucharest, Romania, was able to photograph Tiangong-1 as it made a transit passing in front of the sun.
