By rss@youtube.com (dalecaruso) On 25 August 2003, the Spitzer Space Telescope was launched into space by a Delta rocket from Cape Canaveral, Florida. She was the fourth and final mission in NASA's Great Observatories Program - Each of this family of four orbiting observatories, was to observe the Universe in a differen...

By Tom One of our closest galactic neighbors shows its awesome beauty in this new image from NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope. M33, also known as the Triangulum Galaxy, is a member of what’s known as our Local Group of galaxies. Along with our own Milky Way, this group travels together in the univers...
