A Russian spacecraft that started spiralling out of control after a failed attempt to resupply the International Space Station has come crashing back to Earth.
The Progress M-27M craft burned through the atmosphere in a fireball on Thursday night, the Russian space agency Roscosmos said.
It "ceased to exist" at 10.04pm ET on Thursday (2.04am UTC on Friday), the space agency said in a statement. It was moving over the centre of the Pacific at the time, and any fragments that didn't burn up were believed to have fallen into the ocean.
