Herschel Telescope
The Herschel Telescope was a space observatory launched by the European Space Agency in 2009. It was designed to observe the universe in the far-infrared and submillimeter wavelengths, allowing scientists to study cold and distant objects like star formation regions, galaxies, and cosmic dust.
Named after the astronomer William Herschel, the telescope operated until 2013, providing valuable data that enhanced our understanding of the universe. Its large mirror, measuring 3.5 meters in diameter, made it the largest telescope of its kind, enabling detailed observations that were not possible from Earth.
