NASA's newest astronomy satellite

... and WISEist so far. (sorry couldn't resist the bad pun). Click here to read an article on NASA's next astronomy satellite, the WISE mission, which will make the most sensitive all-sky infrared map to date. There have been lots of advances in infrared astronomy thanks to Spitzer, but much of the sky has not been imaged at this wavelength in over a decade so all the interesting objects out there have almost certainly not been identified yet. This mission will hopefully discover good targets for more sensitive infrared telescopes, like Herschel and James Webb Space Telescope, and personally looking forward to its launch.
