Spitzer is a telescope that looks at light that the Hubble telescope cannot see. Spitzer's wavelengths are in the infrared, whereas Hubble uses visible light. Spitzer's advantage is that infrared light passes through the dust that stops visible light. This means that an object filmed by Spitzer can show detail that Hubble can completly miss.BTW, what is this"Spitzer Space Telescope"??? Never heard about that before.

I just found this site yesterday. I'm still trying to get a handle on what's going on. I've been to a couple of other astronmy forums, but the people were not dearly as serious about astronomy as you guys. I'm delighted because it's like you think like I do. About that Spitzer reply - I should have realized my post was old news. I didn't even get what Spitzer was all about back then. Times change, I guess. All for the better.

No worries! You've got a lot of catching up to do with all the posts over the last few years. Hope you don't mind all the reading!
