A bright fireball was spotted in the skies over parts of Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia on Wednesday (Nov 4). The sight left netizens amazed, with some believing it was a meteor. Instead, it was likely NASA's Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory falling back to Earth. NASA confirmed that the spacecraft had re-entered Earth's atmosphere over North Sumatra, Indonesia at around 8.39pm Singapore time. The observatory had spent almost 22 years in space, helping scientists study powerful cosmic explosions. #nasa #space Subscribe to our channel here: https://cna.asia/youtubesub Visit our website: https://cna.asia Download our app: https://cna.asia/app Get our editors' picks of stories via chat apps: Telegram: https://cna.asia/telegram WhatsApp: https://cna.asia/whatsapp Follow us on these platforms: https://www.facebook.com/channelnewsasia https://www.instagram.com/channelnewsasia https://www.tiktok.com/@channelnewsasia
