NASA's WISE Telescope Completes First Survey of the Entire Sky

NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) mission has now completed its first survey of the entire sky--returning more than a million images of celestial objects ranging from distant galaxies to asteroids. WISE has observed more than 100,000 known and previously unseen asteroids, some of which are near-Earth objects that pass relatively close to the Earth. The powerful telescope is also expected to find up to dozens of new comets. Click here to view the full article and a gallery of WISE images on PopSci.com.
