NASA's Swift telescope set to fall back to Earth

Original: NASA's Swift space telescope is about to crash to Earth. Where will it fall?

NASA's Swift space telescope, which has studied gamma-ray bursts since 2004, is expected to reenter Earth's atmosphere in the coming days, with most of it burning up. Attention is focused on where any surviving debris could land, though the exact location and timing remain uncertain. The event has drawn interest because of the observatory's long scientific legacy and the unpredictable nature of uncontrolled reentries.

Why now: An aging NASA observatory is making an uncontrolled reentry, raising public curiosity about where debris might fall.
