NASA's Swift Telescope Falls to Earth Over Indonesia
NASA's Swift space telescope has re-entered Earth's atmosphere and crashed over Indonesia. The satellite had orbited Earth for 22 years before the crash. Reports describe the fall as a fiery finale, marking the end of a long-running space mission for NASA.
पार्श्वभूमी
