Chinese Space Station "Tiangong-1" falling into the Pacific

From CNN:

It was a fiery end to what was once one of China's highest-profile space projects.

The Tiangong-1 space lab re-entered Earth's atmosphere Monday morning, landing in the middle of the South Pacific, China Manned Space Agency said.

"Most parts were burned up in the re-entry process," it added.

The space lab, its name translating to "Heavenly Palace," was launched in September 2011 as a prototype for China's ultimate space goal: a permanent space station is expected to launch around 2022.
