A defunct ESA satellite harmlessly reentered Wednesday over the Pacific. ESA said its ERS-2 satellite reentered at around 12:12 pm EST (1712 GMT) over the North Pacific Ocean between Hawaii and Alaska. The spacecraft was decommissioned in 2011 after more than 15 years of operations providing Earth science data but lacked the ability to perform a controlled reentry.
