Metal Prints From Heritage Images
Cryostat for COBE satellite, 1989, USA
Cryostat for COBE satellite, 1989, USA. The cryostat uses helium to maintain the extremely low temperatures that allow the satellite to function. The Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE), is a NASA satellite devoted to the study of the radiation left over from the Big Bang which formed the Universe. COBE was launched on 18 November 1989. In 1992 the spacecraft returned data showing minute temperature fluctuations of the early universe - the primeval seeding for the subsequent collapse of matter into nebulae and stars

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Cryostat for the COBE satellite, a groundbreaking scientific instrument that played a crucial role in unraveling the mysteries of our universe. Created in 1989 in the United States, this cryostat utilized helium to maintain incredibly low temperatures necessary for the satellite's operation. The COBE (Cosmic Background Explorer) satellite was launched by NASA on November 18,1989, with a specific mission to study the radiation remnants from the Big Bang that gave birth to our vast cosmos. In an extraordinary breakthrough, data collected by COBE in 1992 revealed minute temperature fluctuations present during the early stages of our universe's existence. These fluctuations acted as seeds for subsequent matter collapse into nebulae and stars. The image captures not only a technological marvel but also represents humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge about our origins. It symbolizes mankind's insatiable curiosity and determination to comprehend the fundamental forces shaping our existence. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, this photograph serves as a testament to both scientific achievement and artistic expression. Preserved within it is an important chapter in astronomy history—a milestone achieved through collaboration between brilliant minds at NASA and their unwavering dedication to expanding human understanding. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Heritage Images' Oxford Science Archive collection, we are reminded of how far we have come while being inspired by what lies ahead—unveiling more secrets hidden within space's infinite depths.
