−
 
 
−
NASA has some great observatories.
 
−
 
 
−
Why do we need to use different telescopes?
 
−
 
 
−
1. “To see different things”
 
−
*a. X-rays vs. gamma rays
 
−
*b. Atmosphere absorbs certain wavelengths
 
−
*c. Atmosphere is opaque to certain wavelengths
 
−
*d. Dusty regions are not seen in optical, can’t see through it
 
−
 
 
−
2. Why are we using archival data?
 
−
 
 
−
*a. Data does need to be sorted but by the computers but
 
−
*b. Cryogen is gone.
 
−
*c. Surpassed its lifetime.
 
−
*d. 3 & 4 and MIPS is gone but lots of data just haven’t been looked at
 
−

−
 
 
−
6. P. 34 jail bars and instrument artifacts. Washed out some of the things around it. Messy.
 
−
 
 
−
*a. If we found this, we could smooth it out not scientific information
 
−
 
 
−
7. Chemistry and elements used
 
−

−
*d. Links and files to movies
 
−
 
 
−
