Part 2 of 6. The Hubble Space Telescope is probing regions billions of light years away, when the universe was far younger than it is today. There, galaxies have blotchy, distorted shapes. They are pocked with the bright blue signature of myriad stars being born.

Viewing the Universe w Infrared Eyes: The Spitzer Space Telescope

Posted by SpaceMan in Hubble Space Telescope on 04 22nd, 2010 | no responses

Dr. Giovanni Fazio, from the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory discusses the Spitzer Space Telescope. Launched on 25 August 2003, the telescope is producing an exciting new view of the Universe seen in infrared light. Spitzer is the fourth and final space telescope in NASA’s Great Observatory series. It consists of an 85-cm telescope and three highly sensitive instruments capable of observing infrared light that allows astronomers to view regions of space invisible to optical telescopes. Spitzer’s scientific results include the study of the formation and evolution of galaxies in the early Universe, understanding energy sources in ultraluminous galaxies, the study of star formation and evolution, observations of exoplanets and their atmospheres, and determining the structure and evolution of planetary disks around nearby stars. After a brief description of the Spitzer mission, results from Spitzer’s extragalactic and galactic observational programs will be presented, showing many of Spitzers very spectacular images. This lecture was the 2009 Smithsonian Secretary’s Distinguished Research Lecutre

ATLAS/CERN 2009 Multimedia Contest and Intern Program Produce an original short film or multimedia piece, incorporating material about ATLAS, the biggest Experiment on the famous LHC proton collider at CERN and you could receive an internship that will lead you to discover new horizons. If you’re selected, you’ll spend three months of fall 2009 at ATLAS/CERN, Switzerland, covering the excitement of physicists as they witness the first collisions produced by the LHC. An event that some have waited more than a decade for. The submission deadline is June 15, 2009, so get out those cameras and start rolling! Visit www.atlas.ch to register!
