#2625 - Feature: New
Eye on the Universe
New Eye on the Universe documents the changes in NASA from the early missions
to the Moon in the 1960s through the modern era, culminating in the launch of
small, agile missions such as Swift. Swift will be controlled from its Mission
Operations Center which is located at Penn State University, and was built by
an international team of scientists and engineers. Swift will study gamma-ray
bursts, which occur at the farthest reaches of the Universe, billions of light
years away. The scale of the Universe is compared to that of our Solar System,
and different models for these bursts are discussed.
