NASA has confirmed that its Swift Observatory, a gamma-ray burst telescope that operated in orbit for more than two decades, has re-entered Earth's atmosphere. The spacecraft, launched in 2004 to study cosmic explosions, ended its long-running mission. The news is drawing attention in Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom as space watchers reflect on the observatory's legacy in astronomy.

Why now: NASA has just announced the spacecraft's atmospheric re-entry, prompting widespread interest in the end of a long-running astronomy mission.
