A European satellite that pioneered many of the technologies used to monitor the planet and its climate has fallen to Earth.
The two-tonne ERS-2 spacecraft burnt up in the atmosphere over the Pacific.
ERS-2 was one of a pair of missions launched by the European Space Agency in the 1990s to study the atmosphere, the land and the oceans in novel ways.
They monitored floods, measured continental and ocean-surface temperatures, traced the movement of ice fields, and sensed the ground buckle during earthquakes.
