X RAY TELESCOPE
In 1990, NASA sent a X-ray telescope into space on Space Shuttle Columbia for the first time to perform observations of galactic and extragalactic objects: What was BBXRT?- In 2003, NASA launched a 34-inch infrared telescope called Spitzer. For 17 years, it looked through cosmic dust and revealed a hidden universe
