NASA's Swift observatory, first launched in 2004, is anticipated to fall back to Earth after a rescue mission that was not successful. The telescope, operational for over two decades, will fall apart during its descent. Majority of the debris will combust in the atmosphere. Experts predict the impact zone could cover over 80% of Earth's surface. Authorities are keeping a close watch to evaluate risks to inhabited regions. The exact location of impact is still unclear.
