天宮一號前年3月與地面失去聯繫，處於「失控」狀態，各國都非常關注其墜落時間及地點。天宮一號原計劃是要墜落在南太平洋中央的「尼莫點（Point Nemo）」，其正式名稱是「海洋難抵極」（Oceanic Pole of Inaccessibility），是全球距離陸地最遠的無人區。目前已有逾300艘太空船、人造衞星等落入尼莫點，該地亦被稱為「人造衞星墳墓」。

Officially called an “oceanic pole of inaccessibility”, this watery graveyard for hi-tech space debris is better known to space junkies as Point Nemo, in honour of Jules Verne’s fictional submarine captain.

“Nemo” is also Latin for “no one”.
