NASA Telescope Falling to Earth
NASA is the US space group. Its old Swift telescope is falling to Earth. NASA said it would fall on 4 November. Most of it will burn up in the sky. A few parts may fall into the sea.
Swift went into space in 2004. It looked at big flashes far away in space. It worked for more than 20 years. Then the Sun pulled it down. A robot tried to help it. But the robot failed.
Swift found more than 2,000 big flashes. It also helped other telescopes. Now scientists need a new one.
