Debris from the 50 year-old probe Cosmos 482 crash-landed into the Indian Ocean over the weekend.

A Soviet-era spacecraft has plunged to Earth, more than a half-century after its failed launch to Venus. The half-ton spacecraft fell out of orbit on Saturday.

The 50-plus-year-old spacecraft was trapped in Earth orbit for decades. Now, it has likely fallen back home, according to the European Space Agency.
