Tiangong-1: Defunct China space lab comes down over South Pacific
China's defunct Tiangong-1 space lab mostly broke up on re-entering the Earth's atmosphere above the South Pacific, Chinese and US reports say.
It re-entered the atmosphere at 00:16 GMT on Monday, astronomer Jonathan McDowell tweeted.
Tiangong-1 was launched in 2011 to carry out docking and orbit experiments.
It was part of the country's efforts to build a manned space station by 2022 but stopped working in March 2016.
