Spitzer
Infrared views of the universe from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, revealing what visible light cannot.
What's in This Collection
NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope — the final Great Observatory — spent 16 years observing in infrared, revealing structures hidden behind dust. Features the Crab Nebula, the Milky Way's galactic center, the Helix Nebula in blue, the Eagle Nebula, and spiral galaxy M81.
Why These Images Stand Out
Infrared reveals a fundamentally different universe. Colors represent heat and infrared emission rather than visible light — showing familiar objects in entirely new ways. Spitzer's mission ended in 2020, making this a closed catalog.
Available Print Formats
Spitzer infrared prints have a distinctive color palette unlike any other telescope. Available on metal, canvas, and fine art paper.
