Local telescopes are increasing, we have their ability to discover new things unequal. We will also explain why sending them into space instead of building on earth is so related.
Hubble, Spatzer, James-Webs, Uukid, and now asceprex, only famous, works in infrared wavelengths, ideal for checking stars and galaxies, works in infrared wavelengths, because you Allows to look through dust and study too far. Object
The esophagus weighs slightly from 500 kilograms and will start from February 27 by Falcon 9 of Space X, at the same time as the other sun observation satellites.

Why send telescopes into space?
The question arises, especially since this process encourages the technical range of telescopes and their mirror size, which is the most important part of them, responsible for collecting light. In fact, the rocket head dress is not infinite expanding, it was especially important to fold the James-Web like Origamy so that it enters Aryan 5!
It is a astronomer from NASA, Lyman Spatzer, who would have been the first idea to get rid of our environment by sending telescopes to the orbit. If nowadays, the master techniques of astronomy are almost like taking direct images in similar results (adaptive optics) in the same results as the SAME to get on the ground, it is different for infrared.
There is a type of thermal signature of infrared items
Anything whose temperature exceeds the absolute zero (-273.5 ° C), eliminates infrared, so all the items in the universe. In this way, depending on the sensitivity we want to give the telescope, it will have to be contaminated with our heat or environment, for example soil that leaves infrared. That is why an infrared observatory is much better in space. Spirits will also have to stay cool to work well.
The Asfrex will see 102 “colors” different infrared

Talking about “color” infrared is clearly abusive language, the color spectrum is complimentary in the visible strip of the spectrum. But if the human eye considers infrared, they will look at new colors and the crooks will really observe the equivalent of 102 different colors – according to 96 other sources – in nearby and medium infrared. Its sensitivity will be behind its major cousin, James-Webs.
With the “minor” budget of $ 488 million, the project will conduct a major survey of a large survey of all the surrounding areas around it. Survey In the scientists’ jargons.

What are the missions of the Spirics?
-
Provide a better understanding of the trend called “cosmic inflation”. The characteristics of the universe really indicate that all its regions discussed during their first moment, and that the current expansion of the current expansion suddenly extended even more. Even today, we do not know how the universe did it. To look more clearly, the spike will study the local distribution of 450 million galaxies.
-
Asfrex has to measure the production of lighting of all near and remote galaxies in an extraordinary way.
-
The space telescope will look for frozen elements, for example water, around the stars of the sky, in large molecular clouds like Rho Ophiucci (see the picture below).
-
He will make the most precise statement of all the places around us.
Rho Ophiuchi forms the molecular cloud stars. Asfrex will measure its abundance in water ice and other frozen elements with which planets are formed. © NASA/JPL-KLACK
