New Images from the Spitzer Space Telescope
A new window to the universe has opened with today's release of the first dazzling images from NASA's newly named Spitzer Space Telescope, formerly known as the Space Infrared Telescope Facility.

Thought this was pretty cool stuff.

A tremendous piece of hardware. IR and Near IR gives some of the most interesting images of all the spectrum.
