NASA's Swift telescope ends mission with uncontrolled atmospheric reentry

NASA's Swift space telescope has ended its mission, burning up in an uncontrolled reentry into Earth's atmosphere around twenty years later than originally expected. The observatory, launched to study gamma-ray bursts, far outlived its planned operational lifetime. Astronomy enthusiasts are marking the end of a two-decade run that greatly exceeded expectations.
Why now: The long-serving telescope's fiery reentry marks the end of a mission that lasted far beyond its design life.
