NASA's Swift space telescope expected to crash to Earth
Original: NASA's Swift space telescope predicted to crash back to Earth tomorrow
NASA's Swift space telescope, which has studied gamma-ray bursts since its 2004 launch, is predicted to fall back to Earth, with reentry expected within a day. Scientists say most of the spacecraft should burn up in the atmosphere, and the risk to people on the ground is considered very low. Astronomers are reflecting on the observatory's two decades of discoveries as its mission effectively comes to an end.
Why now: The telescope's imminent, uncontrolled reentry is a rare and dramatic end for a well-known NASA mission.
