The device Spitzer discovered young stars

Observing through Spitzer Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered a young star system, which "flickers" every 3 months. The system, called YLW 16A, consists of three stars, two of which are surrounded by a disk of a certain matter that remains after the formation of stars.

Since the two inner stars circling around each other,

Spitzer Finds Possible Exoplanet Smaller Than Earth


Astronomers believe is an alien world just two-Thirds the size of Earth - one of the Smallest on record. It was Identified by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. The exoplanet candidate, Known as UCF-1.01, orbits a star Called GJ 436, Which is located a mere 33 light-years away. Might be UCF-1.01 to the nearest world That is our solar system than our home planet Smaller.

Spitzer Space Telescope Technology


About the three main instruments of Spitzer and this Spacecraft has to be cooled a few degrees above absolute zero to function properly, and the spacecraft needs to operate at room temperature, sometimes these two main components are referred to as the portions "cold" and "warm" the Observatory.The following pages will give an overview of the technology that makes possible the science of the Spitzer mission.

Mechanism of Solar Panels Spitzer


Mechanism of Solar Panels Spitzer is designed to provide electrical power required to operate Spitzer to 5 years. Installation of Solar Panels is made of 2 panels, each of which has 392 solar cells. Each solar cell is 5.5 cm by 6.5 cm area. Together, these cells convert the radiation from the Sun in a total of 427 watts (Watts) of electricity. Spitzer cannot point to more than 120 degrees from the direction of the Sun If so, sunlight will not hit the solar panels properly.

Cryogenic Telescope Assembly Spitzer


The Spitzer (CTA by its contraction in English) consists of four main parts: cryostat superfluity helium, a telescope Ritchey-Chretien lightweight 85cm, a set of outer shells, and housing chamber multiple instruments, which houses the science instruments. Everything is cool, is part of CTA. The CTA is mechanically mounted but thermally isolated from the spacecraft, using beams and supports, as well as protective shields against thermal radiation. The array of solar panels and shields the spacecraft, CTA blocked the sun and the other components of the spacecraft at all times, helping to keep the CTA as cold as possible.
