NASA's Swift space telescope set to crash back 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 from orbit since 2004, is expected to reenter Earth's atmosphere and crash down, with its predicted fall due tomorrow. Observers are watching where any surviving debris may land, as most of the observatory is expected to burn up during reentry. The end of the long-running mission marks the close of two decades of discoveries.

Why now: The imminent uncontrolled reentry of a well-known NASA telescope is drawing attention as it happens within a day.
