Electron | Aspera

Aspera houses an ultraviolet telescope and will examine hot gas in the intergalactic medium, thought to be contributing to the birth of stars and planets. Aspera will be the first NASA astrophysics mission to gather and map these ultraviolet light signatures, potentially unlocking a deeper understanding of the origins of stars, planets, and life in the universe.

Aspera is designed to be the first NASA astrophysics mission to gather and map ultraviolet signatures from hot gas in the intergalactic medium.
