A revolutionary NASA telescope is making its way back to Earth—but will not survive the journey. The United States Space Force has honed its estimate for the Neil Gehreis Swift Observatory’s fiery atmospheric reentry.

The US Armed Forces says NASA's Swift observatory will re-enter Earth's atmosphere in the early hours of November 4.

NASA's Swift Observatory is expected to crash back down to Earth this week, following a failed mission to rescue the aging telescope.

The Swift Observatory is expected to re-enter Earth’s atmosphere on Wednesday and is ‘unlikely’ to cause harm.
