Nasa's Swift telescope to re-enter Earth's atmosphere

Nasa's Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, launched in 2004 to study cosmic explosions, is expected to re-enter Earth's atmosphere on Wednesday and burn up. The 3,200lb satellite can no longer steer or observe after a failed bid to raise its orbit last year. Nasa says most of it will burn up and the risk to people is unlikely.
