Spitzer Space Telescope's 10-year-old birthday

Celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Spitzer Space Telescope, NASA introduced you to the most beautiful, colorful, beautiful images ever taken by the Spitzer telescope.

On August 25, 2003, NASA launched a Spizter telescope into orbit at Cape Canaveral Airport, Florida, USA. Spitzer's flight trajectory is unusual compared to other space telescopes, which are rotationally orbitally rather than geocentric. The Spitzer telescope is expected to perform the task within 5 years or more, until the helium gas on the glass is used up.

In May 2009, the amount of liquid helium for cooling telescopes was completely depleted, most of Spitzer's parts could not function. However, there are still two infrared camera modules that can still operate and become part of NASA's Spitzer Warming Mission.

Spitzer Space Telescope is named after one of the most famous scientists of the 20th century, Lyman Spitzer. He was the first to come up with the idea of ​​space telescopes and describe the advantages of observing exoplanets.

Spitzer 'stares' at the sky in infrared wavelengths, revealing the cold, distant realms and dust of the universe. During the past time, Spizter has achieved certain successes: Spizter is the first telescope in the world to capture light from exoplanets, discovering the largest 'ring' around Saturn .
