NASA's Cassini-Huygens mission and Spitzer Space Telescope have captured
images of Saturn's rings and the Ring Nebula, respectively, to bring home
spectacular views of two of the most looked-at objects in the sky. From the planet
outward , they are known as the D, C, B, A, F, G and E rings.

provide the University of Hawaii with our ULE(R) material. Corning
has drawn upon its glass and process expertise to produce materials
with unprecedented precision, homogeneity, and ability to withstand
extreme thermal fluctuations.

The outer
regions are especially prominent in this new image because Spitzer sees the
infrared light from hydrogen molecules. The ability of the system to rapidly survey large areas
of the sky makes it particularly powerful for detecting objects such
as supernovae and earth-threatening asteroids.
