NASA unveil GROUNDBREAKING space telescope able to see ‘FIRST moments of the universe’

The news of the mission follows after NASA declared that its Mars rover, Opportunity had lost contact.

The mission was declared over on yesterday after 15 years in space.

On the mission, Mr Zurburchen said: “I’m standing here with a sense of deep appreciation and gratitude to declare the Opportunity mission as complete.

“It transformed our understanding of our planet, everything we do and think about in our planetary neighbourhood with Mars and elsewhere relates to the research from that and the engineering breakthroughs that came from that.”
