Projects

Wide-Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) Icon Wide-Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST)
The Wide-Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) is a NASA observatory designed to settle essential questions in both exoplanet and dark energy research and will advance topics ranging from galaxy evolution to the study of objects within our own galaxy

Euclid Icon Euclid
Euclid is a mission designed to study "dark energy", the hypothesized cause of the Universe's accelerated expansion.
