Catch a falling telescope and put it in your pocket... 🎶 The JAXA/NASA Suzaku X-ray space telescope, which completed science operations in 2015, has now re-entered the atmosphere and I think must have burned up. Suzaku is succeeded by XRISM, which carries the spectrometer for exploring diffuse X-ray sources that couldn't be used on Suzaku as the liquid helium leaked!
