StarStarStarStar

Hubble Space Telescope

StarStarStarStar

Its primary mission is to observe distant galaxies, nebulae, and other deep-space phenomena with high precision.

StarStarStarStar

Chandra X-ray Observatory

StarStarStarStar

It observes X-rays from high-energy regions of the universe, such as the remnants of exploded stars, clusters of galaxies, and matter around black holes.

StarStarStarStar

Spitzer Space Telescope

StarStarStarStar

Its mission includes studying objects ranging from our Solar System to the distant reaches of the universe in infrared light.

StarStarStarStar

Gaia

StarStarStarStar

Its mission is to create a 3D space catalog of approximately one billion astronomical objects, primarily in the Milky Way.

StarStarStarStar

Herschel Space Observatory

StarStarStarStar

It was designed to study the universe in the far infrared and submillimetre range, examining the formation of stars and galaxies.

StarStarStarStar

TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite)

StarStarStarStar

Its primary mission is to search for exoplanets using the transit method, with a focus on finding Earth-sized and smaller planets.

StarStarStarStar

Kepler Space Telescope

StarStarStarStar

Designed to discover Earth-like planets orbiting other stars, particularly those in habitable zones where liquid water could exist.

StarStarStarStar

WISE (Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer)

StarStarStarStar

Its primary mission consists of mapping the entire sky in infrared to study the Solar System, the Milky Way, and the universe.

StarStarStarStar

James Webb Space Telescope

StarStarStarStar

Its primary mission is to study the formation of stars and planets, and to image the first galaxies formed after the Big Bang.

StarStarStarStar

Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope

StarStarStarStar

It studies gamma ray sources, including supermassive black hole systems, pulsars, and supernovae, providing insight into high-energy processes in the universe.
