NEOWISE Telescope's Final Photos Captivate with Stunning Detail

NASA's NEOWISE telescope, originally launched as WISE in 2009, has concluded its mission, leaving behind a rich legacy of data on near-Earth objects, comets, and celestial phenomena. Over 15 years, NEOWISE provided repeated observations of the same sky regions, enabling significant discoveries such as the characterization of over 3,000 near-Earth objects. The final data release includes stunning infrared images of regions like the California Nebula, highlighting the telescope's contributions to understanding the universe. The data will continue to aid future astronomical research.
