EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the COROT satellite, a remarkable technological marvel of the 21st century. Created by the European Space Agency (ESA) in 2006, this space telescope revolutionized our understanding of astrophysics and planetary exploration. The intricate illustration depicts a cut-away view of the COROT satellite, revealing its inner workings and sophisticated machinery. Its sleek design and advanced detectors highlight the ingenuity behind this scientific masterpiece. As it orbits Earth, the COROT satellite diligently scans distant planets and celestial bodies with its high-resolution camera. Equipped with state-of-the-art technology developed by CNES (French Space Agency), including CCD detectors and an off-axis afocal telescope, it captures breathtaking images that unravel mysteries beyond our planet's boundaries. With its primary mission as a planet hunter, COROT has made groundbreaking discoveries about exoplanets and their atmospheres. Its dioptric objective allows for precise observations of planetary limbs while convection rotation et transits planetaires are studied meticulously to unlock secrets about these faraway worlds. The opaque baffle ensures an unobstructed optical path for accurate data collection during its space flight. This extraordinary machine represents humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge in astronomy and serves as a testament to our technological advancements in space research. Science Photo Library presents this awe-inspiring print that encapsulates both artistry and scientific achievement. It invites us to contemplate the vastness of our universe while appreciating mankind's tireless efforts to explore it further.
