Europe launched two telescopes to orbit
The Arian 5 rocket brought two Herschel and Planck telescopes to space on May 14 from the launch of the European Space Agency in Guiana, South America.

The European Space Agency calls these two space telescopes 'two of the most complex spacecraft people ever built'. The total cost for making two glasses is 1.9 billion euros. They will make a 60-day journey to two orbit positions around the sun, about 1.5 million kilometers from the earth. Here the two glass will maintain a stable position because the gravitational force acting on them is almost zero.
Herschel Space Telescope will explore the formation and development of galaxies and stars. Herschel has a mirror that collects the greatest light among telescopes flying in Earth orbit. Its mirror has a diameter of 3.5 m - 1.5 times the Hubble telescope.
Meanwhile, the Planck space telescope is designed to understand the birth of the universe and the reason it is shaped like it is today. Both telescopes will be cooled to absolute zero during operation.
The launch of the two space telescopes takes place amid the American space shuttle Atlantis is conducting repair and upgrading of the Hubble telescope.
