The special issue of Astronomy & Astrophysics on the first results from Herschel is now available, with hundreds of papers freely accessible!

some insight on the decision to crash Herschel and the possible alternatives on this blog
http://herschellife.blogspot.es/1342197754...-end-of-helium/ I would have loved the Herschel trailblazer concept: placing Herschel at the Earth-Moon L2 point to perform tests for future farside communication satellites before crashing it to the surface. unfortunately, the option was apparently deemed too expensive |
