Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope
The Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) is a space telescope designed to study the universe in infrared light. It aims to explore the formation of galaxies, the nature of dark energy, and the potential for finding exoplanets. WFIRST will have a wide field of view, allowing it to capture large areas of the sky in a single observation.
WFIRST is equipped with advanced instruments, including a coronagraph to block starlight and observe nearby planets. This mission is part of NASA's broader efforts to enhance our understanding of cosmic phenomena and is expected to provide valuable data for astronomers and scientists worldwide.
