NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope will be closed.

NASA briefly informed that the Spitzer Space Telescope will be permanently discontinued on January 30, 2020. After about 16 years of discovering the universe in light energy.  And by that time, the space shuttle has been working for more than 11 years beyond its prime mission, Spitzer examines the universe’s various objects in infrared light.  It was in 2003 through the rocket that the American Space Research Organization NASA entered the space and entered the orbit around the Earth.  Spitzer rotates the sun on a path similar to that of the Earth but it runs a bit slower.  Today it is about 158 ​​million miles (254 million kilometers) away from our planet – more than 600 times the distance between Earth and Moon.  The spacing of Spitzer’s orbit curve means that when the spacecraft indicates its fixed antenna on the earth to download data or receive commands, its solar panels tend to lean away from the sun.  During those periods, to operate the space shuttle, one should rely on the combination of solar energy and battery power. On the angle at which the panel points away from the sun, it has increased every year in the operation of the mission.  These days, in order to communicate with Earth, Spitzer needs to place its panels at a 53 degree angle (facing 90 degrees completely away) from the Sun, even if the mission planners have to set 30 degrees  Do not intend to lean over.  Spitzer can communicate with the Earth for up to 2.5 hours before turning on its solar panels toward the sun to recharge its batteries.Pasadena, Spitzer has curtain hidden objects in nearly every corner of the universe,  In which some of the most distant galaxies have been observed from a new ring around Saturn.  It has spied the stars at every stage of life, has mapped the galaxy of our house, has captured the magnificent images of the nebulaand, has discovered the distant stars of the newly discovered planets.  Spitzer is a small transformational observatory, managed and operated by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California.  This is done to capture the infrared light, Spitzer has covered the hidden objects in almost every corner of the universe, in which some of the galaxies far away from a new ring around Saturn has been observed.  It has spotted the stars at every stage of life, has mapped the galaxy of our house, captured the magnificent images of the nebulaand, has discovered the distant stars of the newly discovered planets.
