AROUND TWO SUNS THRIVE NASA TELESCOPE TO FIND PLANETS


Using the Spitzer Space Telescope NASA astronomers have observed that planetary systems - dusty disks of asteroids, comets and possibly planets - are so abundant in double star systems as single stars in systems such as ours. Since more than half of all stars are twins, or binaries, the finding suggests that the universe is full of planets with two suns. Sunsets on some of those worlds would resemble that of Luke Skywalker's planet, Tatooine, where two fiery balls dip below the horizon one by one.

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.

Galaxies


A wide-ranging malaria program of imaging and spectroscopy of galaxies by Spitzer will conduct, from the closest to the Milky Way to those found in the limits of the observable universe.
Ultra luminous Infrared Galaxies (ULIRGs)
The satellite IRAS discovered a class of ultra luminous galaxies that radiate more than 90% of infrared light. Studies show that optical and infrared most of these objects are in systems of galaxies in collision or interaction. The study of the nature of ULIRGs and their relation to active galaxies (see next paragraph) is one of the most important problems in astrophysics.
