NASA observatory falls
NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory is expected to reenter Earth’s atmosphere early Wednesday, nearly 22 years after launch; NASA says the risk of serious harm to anyone on the ground is about 1 in 2,100. Increased solar activity expanded the atmosphere and intensified drag, while a July attempt to boost the observatory back into orbit failed. The spacecraft stopped collecting scientific data after dropping to 171 miles above Earth.
