Darwin infrared space telescope, artwork
Darwin infrared space telescope. Computer artwork of the European Space Agencys (ESA) Darwin mission telescopes in orbit over Earth. The Darwin mission, slated for launch in 2016, has several infrared free-flying telescopes that will feed observations to a main communications spacecraft containing a beam combiner, spectrographs and cameras. The missons aim is to search for signs of life (such as water and ozone) on planets orbiting other stars

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the Darwin infrared space telescope, a groundbreaking mission by the European Space Agency (ESA). In this computer-generated image, we see multiple telescopes floating in orbit around Earth, ready to embark on their quest for extraterrestrial life. Scheduled for launch in 2016, these free-flying telescopes will transmit valuable observations to a central communications spacecraft equipped with advanced technology such as beam combiners, spectrographs, and cameras. The primary objective of the Darwin mission is to detect signs of life on exoplanets that orbit distant stars. By analyzing spectral data and searching for essential elements like water and ozone, scientists hope to uncover evidence of alien existence beyond our solar system. This ambitious endeavor represents a significant leap forward in astrophysics and astrobiology. The intricate illustration highlights the cutting-edge instruments and equipment used by the Darwin mission. It emphasizes humanity's continuous pursuit of knowledge about our universe and its potential inhabitants. As an observatory dedicated to exploring exoplanetary science, this space telescope holds immense promise for unraveling some of the greatest mysteries surrounding our place in the cosmos. This awe-inspiring artwork is courtesy of Science Photo Library—a testament to human ingenuity and our unrelenting curiosity about what lies beyond Earth's boundaries.
