This selection was made at the Space Science Enterprise Strategic Planning Workshop, held in Breckenridge in 1997. Constellation-X has been compared to the Keck telescopes of Hawaii. This technology is at the front of a new generation of high resolution telescopes. One of their most distinguishing characteristics is their wide range of luminosity and distance. Many possibilities have been opened up with these new instruments.
Scientists hope to determine the origins of many different elements.
These range from Carbon to Zinc, but the potential does not stop there. Gamma Ray viewing may be the area of the next big breakthrough in astronomy. We can now reach into depths of space and observe distant parts of the cosmos with unprecedented detail. At the rate at which technology is now moving, space's final frontier is moving closer and closer. All rights reserved and are subject to change withou notice.
