NASA's Swift telescope falls back to Earth after failed rescue

Original: nasa

NASA's Swift space telescope, which studied gamma-ray bursts for roughly two decades, has crashed back to Earth after an attempted rescue failed. The observatory, launched in 2004, reentered the atmosphere after controllers were unable to raise its orbit. The spacecraft was widely credited with discoveries about cosmic explosions and black holes, and observers are now recalling its scientific legacy.

Why now: News that a well-known and long-serving NASA observatory was lost after a failed rescue attempt is drawing broad attention.
