MIRI
MIRI, or the Mid-Infrared Instrument, is a scientific instrument designed for use on the James Webb Space Telescope. It specializes in capturing images and spectra in the mid-infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which allows astronomers to study celestial objects that are cooler and dustier than those observed in visible light.
MIRI plays a crucial role in exploring various astronomical phenomena, including the formation of stars and planets, the composition of distant galaxies, and the study of exoplanets. By providing detailed data in the mid-infrared, MIRI enhances our understanding of the universe and contributes to significant discoveries in astrophysics.
