The space telescope NEOWISE sadly approaches its fiery demise due to solar flares<\/strong>, which are causing the infrared telescope to gradually deviate from its orbit before burning up in the Earth’s atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n

The NEOWISE<\/strong> (Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer) from NASA will be rendered useless by early 2025<\/strong> due to increased solar activity<\/a>, as announced by the space agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is expected that the telescope’s orbit will gradually decrease over time. This is due to the heating of the Earth’s atmosphere by the Sun, which causes it to expand<\/strong>. As a result, satellites in orbit experience an increase in atmospheric resistance, leading to a decrease in their altitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All good things…
NEOWISE, NASA's prolific asteroid and comet-hunting infrared space telescope, is celebrating 10 years of service, but is also planning for the end of its mission. https:\/\/t.co\/E4qkrqkLWY<\/a><\/p>— NASA Solar System (@NASASolarSystem) December 14, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote>
