NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope with its infrared eyes arranged for capturing Universe

-->

NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope had put its infrared eyes reverse on the sky to observe the cold and dusty universe. The telescope ran out of the liquid coolant on May 15, 2009, after more than five-and-a-half years of observations, two of its infrared channels are working at full ability at the observatory's new "warm" temperature of approximately 30 Kelvin i.e. minus 406 degrees Fahrenheit, which is still quite chilly by our Earthly standards.

NASA's Engineers and scientists have been very busy in recalibrating the telescope and making the preparations for Spitzer's new era of science. Routine science operations had started 27^th July, 2009.
