“Neowise” (Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer – NEOWISE) is an infrared space telescope project. NASA, United States Used to find asteroids and comets. Including things that may be harmful to the world. This equipment has been operating for 10 years and its mission is coming to an end. By early 2025, the Neowise camera will fall into Earth’s atmosphere and completely burn up.
The past 10 years have seen the Neowise spacecraft’s second life, said Neowise’s principal investigator and scientists from IPAC, a research organization at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in the US. It is managed by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. By reusing the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) mission launched in 2009, data from WISE and Neo-WISE will be used to study distant galaxies. Including different types of stars is used to search for disks of dust and gas around stars.
Scientists say the NEOWISE mission scanned the entire sky more than 20 times, and took 1.45 million infrared measurements on more than 44,000 objects in the solar system, including more than 3,000 near-Earth objects. In the future, scientists will continue to rely on this. Survey data bank There are many because it is believed that it will help discover new things.
