Planck and Herschel launch, artwork
Planck and Herschel launch, artwork. These two missions were launched into space on 14 May 2009 by an Ariane 5 rocket. The spacecraft are mounted on top of the rockets second (upper) stage. Here, the covering (fairing) has separated, revealing the spacecraft inside. First Herschel (seen here), and then Planck (inside its carrier, black), separated from the upper stage and travelled away from Earth to carry out their missions. Herschel collects infrared radiation from some of the coolest and most distant objects in the Universe. Planck studies the Cosmic Microwave Background, the radiation left over from the Big Bang

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork captures the historic launch of the Planck and Herschel missions on 14 May 2009. Suspended atop an Ariane 5 rocket's second stage, these two spacecraft are unveiled as the fairing separates, revealing their sleek designs. The first to separate is Herschel, depicted here in all its glory, ready to embark on its mission of collecting infrared radiation from some of the most distant and coolest objects in our vast Universe. Meanwhile, nestled inside its carrier (black), Planck patiently awaits its turn to break free from Earth's grasp. Once released, it will delve into studying the Cosmic Microwave Background - a fossil light that originated from the Big Bang itself. This awe-inspiring illustration showcases not only cutting-edge technology but also humanity's insatiable thirst for knowledge about our place in space. As these remarkable space observatories soar towards their destinations beyond Earth orbit, they symbolize mankind's relentless pursuit of understanding astrophysics and cosmology. The European Space Agency (ESA) spearheaded this monumental double launch as part of their commitment to pushing boundaries in scientific research. With each passing moment captured by this image print, we are reminded of how far we have come technologically in this 21st century era. Let this mesmerizing artwork serve as a reminder that exploration knows no bounds when it comes to unraveling the mysteries of our universe through physics and astronomy.
