NASA WISE Satellite Blasts Into Space

coondoggie writes "After a three day delay, NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer this morning blasted into space courtesy of a Delta II rocket and will soon begin bathing the cosmos with infrared light, picking up the glow of hundreds of millions of objects and producing millions of images. The space agency says the WISE spacecraft will circle Earth over the poles, scanning the entire sky one-and-a-half times in nine months. The idea behind the spacecraft is to uncover objects never seen before, including the coolest stars, the universe's most luminous galaxies and some of the darkest near-Earth asteroids and comets."

...or we'll have a completely useless and repetitive discussion about how badly written the article is, and see nothing about the actual issue itself. I've waded all the way down the page in search of an actual insightful post and have so far been disappointed.

I mean, so TFS/TFA/whatever screwed up. OK! Enough already! I Fucking get it! Now can we move on?

Jeez!
