Spitzer Gallery vs Skylob

On January 30th 2020, NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope will complete its mission. The Spitzer Gallery provides a gallery of images generated by the telescope over the mission lifetime. App Features: - Latest Spitzer Images from NASA Image Archive - Latest Spitzer, JPL and NASA media feed - Search both images and media feed - Full screen image view of Spitzer images with pan/zoom - Share image to Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Messages, E-Mail, etc. - Save image to your photos library - Share link to Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Messages, E-Mail, etc. - Auto Dark/Light mode based on your iOS Settings preference The Spitzer Space Telescope is the final mission in NASA's Great Observatories Program - a family of four space-based observatories, each observing the Universe in a different kind of light. The other missions in the program include the visible-light Hubble Space Telescope (HST), Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (CGRO), and the Chandra X-Ray Observatory (CXO). Spitzer is designed to detect infrared radiation, which is primarily heat radiation.

The observable universe stretches roughly 93 billion light-years across and holds an estimated one billion trillion stars. Yet the universe's expansion tells a stranger story: dark energy is accelerating galaxies away from one another at rates that exceed the speed of light, shrinking our cosmological horizon: The boundary beyond which no signal can ever reach us, to about 16 billion light-years. Beyond that threshold, the cosmos becomes permanently unknowable. And within all of that immensity, as Carl Sagan so movingly reminded us, we live on a pale blue dot. A single, fragile mote among countless heavenly bodies, most of which have never been named, let alone explored. That vastness isn't cause for despair, it's an invitation.
