NASA - NASA Selects Explorer Investigations for Formulation

Hola amigos: A VUELO DE UN QUINDE EL BLOG., la Agencia Espacial NASA, nos alcanza la información que: ( NASA's Astrophysics Explorer Program) El Programa de Explorador de Astrofísica de la NASA ha seleccionado dos misiones para el lanzamiento en 2017: un satélite que intentará cazar/detectar   planetas y  además será un un instrumento de  la Estación Internacional Espacial para observar mediante el sistema de rayos X  a las  estrellas.
Asimismo la NASA determinó que :  The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER), ha logrado satisfacer las exigencias entre cuatro más para lograr el valor científico y que hagan posible la investigación espacial..
También nos informa que : The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) usará varios telescopios para hacer un estudio completo del espacio y descubrir los exoplanetas que circulan alrededor de gigantescas estrellas compuestas de gas siendo su objetivo detectar planetas similares a La Tierra en la zona de habitabilidad galáctica que probablemente tengan vida como La Tierra. Así lo hizo conocer : George Ricker of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge.
Amigos los invito a leer en inglés la versión original de la NASA.........
WISE Feels the Heat from Orion's Sword

The tangle of clouds and stars that lie in Orion's sword is showcased in a new, expansive view from NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE.
Orion, the famous hunter, is visible in evening skies throughout the world from about December through April. The constellation appears tranquil and still to the naked eye, but lying in its sword, at what appears to be a slightly fuzzy star, is a turbulent cauldron of stellar birth.
WISE scanned the whole sky in infrared light, capturing this vast view of the dynamic region, called the Orion nebula. The telescope picked up the infrared glow from dust heated by newborn stars. The colors green and red highlight this warmed dust, while the white regions are the hottest. Massive stars burned through the dust, carving out cavities, the largest of which is seen at the center of the picture.
Astronomers think that our sun was probably born in a similar cloud some five billion years ago. Over time, the cloud would have dispersed and the stars would have drifted apart, leaving us more isolated in space. The crowded newborn stars in the Orion nebula are less than 10 million years old -- billions of years from now, they will likely spread out.
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., manages, and operated, WISE for NASA's Science Mission Directorate. The spacecraft was put into hibernation mode in 2011, after it scanned the entire sky twice, completing its main objectives. Edward Wright is the principal investigator and is at UCLA. The mission was selected competitively under NASA's Explorers Program managed by the agency's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. The science instrument was built by the Space Dynamics Laboratory in Logan, Utah. The spacecraft was built by Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. in Boulder, Colo. Science operations and data processing take place at the Infrared Processing and Analysis Center at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. Caltech manages JPL for NASA.
