More cool stuff
Much of what is beautiful and mysterious in space will always be invisible to human eyes. Why? Because our eyes can see only a tiny bit of all the light that shines. Fortunately, our brains can sometimes make up for what our eyes are missing. NASA scientists and engineers designed, built and launched the Spitzer Space Telescope to reveal some of the hidden secrets of the Universe.

These “secret” views of the Universe are not visible to our eyes or even to ordinary telescopes. However, the Spitzer Space Telescope can see them because it views the Universe in infrared light, rather than visible light. Although our eyes cannot sense infrared light, we do feel it on our skin as heat.

Unlike visible light, infrared passes right through clouds of dust and gas in space, revealing what lies beyond them. Also, Spitzer allows us to clearly see objects in space that are too cool to give off visible light—like clouds of dust and gas, which are likely to be places where new stars or even planets are being formed.

Spitzer is showing us the Universe in a whole new light!
