NASA's Swift satellite, designed for rapid response to cosmic gamma-ray flashes, has concluded its mission after nearly 22 years. Launched in 2004 for a planned two-year mission, Swift detected over 2,000 gamma-ray bursts and 1,400 supernovas. It will re-enter Earth's atmosphere in the coming weeks due to increasing atmospheric drag.
