The reentry time and place is uncertain and predictions are publicised here:

As the predictions get more confident the page will automatically update to show the more precise predicted reentry path.

It is always sad when a so-called “news” organization gets so much wrong. Swift never had any thrusters for maneuvering and the shut off of Swift has no bearing on being unable to deorbit Swift in a controlled manner. That was never possible.

Katalyst tried to boost Sift with their LINK satellite but didn't quite make it.

I hope the success of Starship allows 100x increase in the number of space telescopes.
