Fox News
Russia's Luna-25 moon mission ended in failure, with Roskosmos announcing that its craft "ceased to exist" after crashing into the lunar surface Sunday.
"The apparatus moved into an unpredictable orbit and ceased to exist as a result of a collision with the surface of the Moon," Roskosmos said in a statement.

Roskosmos says a commission has been set up to investigate the cause for the failure. It was Russia's first trip to lunar orbit since 1976.
