NASA’s 10 Billion Dollar Telescope
How long has it been since you heard something about NASA’s latest creation?
Probably not long enough to give you any ideas as to what the latest in space research is. Yet, the news does have some good solid information in it.
A new infrared telescope is being developed for NASA, and it will be able to find planets outside our solar system. This means that we may find many more planet in our galaxy and beyond. This will lead to even greater discoveries and new frontiers for humankind.
Though NASA doesn’t want the public to know what they are up to, it is happy with the results of their infrared space telescope. It will allow us to detect worlds in other solar systems and beyond. That’s a lot of space!
The JPL (JPL Systems Inc.) is lead by Dr. Robert Forward, and it is responsible for the construction of the Widefield Transient Large Space Survey or WTR. This instrument will allow for better detection of the very small, icy particles that make up every other space object. It will allow for precise observation of extra solar planets. We will learn much more about our own solar system from these telescopes. They will be a big step for mankind and for science as a whole.
