Soviet-era spacecraft 'likely' to have re-entered Earth's atmosphere
The article discusses the re-entry of a Soviet-era spacecraft that had been orbiting Earth for over 50 years. The spacecraft, launched in 1972 on a mission to Venus, has been circling the Earth since then. Experts believe that the spacecraft has likely re-entered the Earth's atmosphere, although the exact timing and location of the re-entry are not yet known. The spacecraft, which was designed to study the atmosphere and surface of Venus, continued to orbit the Earth even after its primary mission was completed. Over the decades, it has been observed by various space agencies and tracked by amateur astronomers. The re-entry of the spacecraft is not considered a significant event, as it is a common occurrence for aging satellites and spacecraft to eventually re-enter the Earth's atmosphere and burn up or break apart.
