For the past 30 years, NASA has conducted research using various space telescopes that have greatly expanded our knowledge of the universe. These telescopes made it possible to study previously invisible parts of space in the ultraviolet, infrared and gamma ranges. However, new missions promise to further expand the horizons of our observations. Among them is MAUVE, a new mission that will study the ultraviolet range, to understand how planets, galaxies, and other cosmic structures formed.
MAUVE will help investigate how various factors affect planetary atmospheres. And also how stars are formed, as well as the mechanisms of such cosmic phenomena as kilonovas and supernovae. Thanks to the extension of the ultraviolet range, this a telescope can help answer many fundamental questions. In particular: how the planets arose, whether it is possible to find traces of life outside the Earth, and how different cosmic structures interact.
Scientists believe that this project will allow us to discover new aspects that were previously hidden due to the limitations of existing instruments. The main focus of research:
- elucidation of the nature of ultraviolet processes in space;
- research of the intergalactic environment;
- study of the mechanisms of influence of stars on the surrounding spaces.
This discovery will make it possible to find new opportunities for studying exoplanets, stars, galaxies and other cosmic objects in key ranges that are still poorly studied.
