NASA shuts down prolific sky mapping space tennis. Copy that is used to search for nipperu type, a cadar star. A prolific sky mapping telescope that has spent more than a year scanning the heavens for asteroids, commits and other cosmic objects received its last command to day for battery. 17. You know how you sometimes consense that something is present even though you can't see it? Well, astronomers are getting the feeling about a giant, hidden object in space. And when we say giant, we mean giant. They've found the largest planet in our solar system. It orbits our sun in a far elliptical orbit, and is said to be four exas the size of Jupiter. It has a helium and hydrogen atmosphere. It's most likely to have moons. This planet fits the exact description of planet X. So one was asked why are they suddenly telling us now. Scientists have known about this planet since 1983 and they've been using wise and iris to monitoring. Does this mean it will be visible this year? I'm thinking so. They have no choice but to tell us as it will viewable to everyone W slash O telescope this year. And why are they not calling this planet by its real name? Nibilu. Planet X. Well, that would mean that all of us so-called conspiracy theories and so-called Darwinian ancestors were right all along. NASA shut down its wise space craft short for why the field infrared survey explorer at 300 PM is 2000 youth today. The mission's principal investigator, Ned Wright of the University of California in Los Angeles, sent the final command to the now hibernating spacecraft, according to an update from the wise missions official Twitter account. The wise spacecraft were remain in a hibernation without ground contacts awaiting possible future use, NASA officials said via Twitter. Wise launched on deck. 14, 2009 to begin a 10-month mission to collect data to be stitched together into a composite map of the entire sky. The spacecraft surveyed the cosmos in infrared light, which allowed it to peer through dense layers of dust to capture stunning space photos of previously unseen objects in unprecedented detail. In addition to spotting asteroids and comets, the $320 million space telescope is designed to detect the faint glow of distant objects, such as strangely cool ground warf stars. Over the course of its mission, wise scammed the sky one and one half times, taking about 1.8 million images of asteroids, stars and galaxies. The spacecraft also spotted 19 previously unseen comets in more than 33,500 asteroids, including 120-year-th of objects, which are objects with orbits to pass relatively close to a sun orbit around the sun. In late September 2010, wise ran out of the coolant needed to chill its infrared detectors. The observatory then began an extended mission, dubbed the Neolise Post-Creeogenic Mission, without coolant to prevent its instruments from warming up, wise operated on two of its four detectors, training its size on objects within our solar system. Since the spacecraft and telescope were in good condition prior to mission X, right proposed a three-month extension in order to complete the second half of the observatory second sky survey. In May 2010, a NASA panel advised against the extension, however, which would have added $6.50 million to the program's price tag. After wise as coolant ran out, mission scientists came up with an alternative plan the Neolise Mission to seek out Neolise asteroids. That mission extension costs substantially less about $400,000 NASA officials have said. Scientists say it may be a new planet on the edge of our solar system. It's called Tiki, named for an ancient Greek goddess. If it's real, Tiki is a super giant, four times the size of Jupiter made of hydrogen and helium. Scientists from the University of Louisiana say it hasn't been found because it's so far away, 15,000 times farther from the sun than Earth.
