Spitzer Space Telescope: Pioneering Infrared Astronomy

Launched in 2003, the Spitzer Space Telescope was a trailblazer in the field of infrared astronomy. By detecting heat radiation from celestial objects, Spitzer has unveiled hidden stars, dusty nebulae, and provided insights into the early universe.

Despite being decommissioned in 2020, its invaluable contributions continue to shape our understanding of infrared-emitting phenomena.
