The American Swift telescope, which had been in orbit for 22 years, left it and burned up in the atmosphere. The Swift station entered the Earth's atmosphere on November 4 at 15:39 Moscow time over North Sumatra in Indonesia. NASA predicted that most of the orbiting telescope would burn up as it flew through the atmosphere, but some components could survive the fall. NASA launched Swift into orbit in 2004. The main task of the telescope was to record so-called gamma-ray bursts - emissions of gamma radiation as a result of large cosmic events, such as a supernova explosion. It was later used for other observations. 3 months ago a mission was made to delay his fall, but it failed. More IZ RU news in max.
