Via NASA comes this new release of photos from its Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE. It's the new high tech gizmo that NASA launched to use to survey the entire sky in infrared and reveal what was previously unseen. Yeah... so that might take a while. This is the first batch of photos they've released and they're pretty damn cool.
According to a
professional nerd at Bad Astronomy, WISE makes Hubble look like a bitch. It's a little more technical than that, but it's essentially because WISE can grab bigger pictures of the sky and do it all over the infrared spectrum. Faster too.
