Celebrate Spitzer's Super Sweet 16! 🎂⁣
⁣
Since 2003, our Spitzer Space Telescope has been lifting the veil on the wonders of the cosmos, from our own solar system to faraway galaxies, using infrared light! ✨💫⭐️⁣
⁣
Thanks to Spitzer, we've confirm the presence of seven rocky, Earth-size planets, received weather maps of hot, gaseous exoplanets and discovered  a hidden ring around Saturn. ⁣
⁣
🥳 In honor of Spitzer's Sweet 16 in space, enjoy 10 jaw-dropping images from its mission. Check out our link in bio for more on these discoveries! ⁣
