In Luke 24:51, "and was carried up into heaven" is called a "Western omission" because it is missing from some early manuscripts. However, this does not prove that it was a later addition - it may have actually been removed from Luke in some manuscripts, to avoid a conflict with Acts of the Apostles.
In The Revised Standard Version (R.S.V.) and The New English Bible (N.E.B.), this has been removed from the text and consigned to the footnotes.
