2: Our Mission

Our mission was to study dust around nearby stars. Dust that later will form planets according to the theory. The observations is done in IR (Infra Red) spectrum which gives better data for this kind of observations. Normal CCD sensors can't be used for these wavelengths. A very special camera was used that was built as a cooperation between the Swedish and French University.

The telescope NOT with the North Star in the background. You see how the other stars circle around it because of Earth's rotation.
