NASA's Swift space observatory nears fiery reentry

Original: observatório espacial

The Swift space observatory, which spent over a decade studying gamma-ray bursts far beyond its planned mission length, is expected to reenter Earth's atmosphere. The telescope leaves behind roughly 12 terabytes of data — equivalent to about 600 HD movies — from its years of observations. In Brazil, interest in the observatory's end is growing as coverage highlights its work running more than ten times its original schedule.

Why now: The Swift telescope's expected atmospheric reentry after an exceptionally long mission is drawing attention.
