Spitzer Space Telescope

The Spitzer Space Telescope is a powerful observatory launched by NASA to study the universe in infrared light, which is beyond the capabilities of human eyes and visible telescopes. By observing in infrared, Spitzer can see through dust clouds to reveal stars, planets, and galaxies that are hidden or too faint to detect otherwise. It provides unique insights into the formation of stars and planets, the atmospheres of exoplanets, and the early universe’s evolution. Operating from space avoids Earth's atmospheric interference, allowing clearer, more detailed observations of distant cosmic objects.
