More Cassiopeia A This infrared image from WISE shows the light echoes of the Cassiopeia A supernova remnant.

More The Sky This is a mosaic of all the atlas images available in the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) All-Sky Data Release.

More Barnard 3 In keeping with the spirit of the holidays, NASAs WISE Mission presents the Wreath Nebula.

More Fireworks in the Milky Way This enormous section of the Milky Way Galaxy is a mosaic of images from NASAs WISE.

More Puppis A Seen as a red dusty cloud in this image from NASAs WISE, Puppis A is the remnant of a supernova explosion.

More IC 4592 Jabbah is the name of the bright star right of center, surrounded by a red colored dust cloud. The Arabic name means the forehead of the scorpion.

More NGC 281 In visible light, NGC 281 in the constellation of Cassiopeia appears to be chomping through the cosmos, earning it the nickname the Pacman nebula.

More IC 4601 This image shows a giant dust cloud in between the claws of the constellation Scorpius.

More RCW86 Infrared data from NASA's Spitzer and NASA's WISE are shown in yellow and red, and reveal dust radiating at a temperature of several hundred degrees below zero.

More Asteroid Albedos This chart illustrates why infrared-sensing telescopes are more suited to finding small, dark asteroids than telescopes that detect visible light.

More Asteroid Sizes This chart illustrates how infrared is used to more accurately determine an asteroid's size.

More NEA Census This chart shows how data from NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE, has led to revisions in the estimated population of near-Earth asteroids.

More Dinosaur-Killing Asteroid? Scientists think that a giant asteroid, which broke up long ago in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, eventually made its way to Earth and led to the extinction of the dinosaurs.

More Flaring Black Hole Astronomers using NASA's WISE have captured rare data of a flaring black hole, revealing new details about these powerful objects and their blazing jets.
