The Other Space Telescopes
Dr. Willie Yee,
NASA/JPL Solar System Ambassador
The Hubble and Webb telescopes are the best known space telescopes, and deserve to be. However there are many other space telescopes, notably the others in NASA's Great Telescope Program and those that followed it that have explored space in wavelengths that those landmark telescopes cannot. This presentation will explore those space telescopes that have peered into optical, infrared, x-ray, and gamma-ray frequencies and the science discoveries they made.
Dr. Willie Yee is an amateur astronomer, past president and member of the Board of Directors of the Mid-Hudson Astronomical Association. He presently is a Solar System Ambassador, a program supported by NASA and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, CA. Other interests include magic, bicycling and jazz.
