NASA Space Telescopes to Peer Deeper Into Universe Than Ever Before…..
Three NASA space telescopes are teaming up to give astronomers their best-ever looks at some of the most distant objects in the universe.
The space agency's Hubble, Spitzer and Chandra space telescopes will collectively observe six huge galaxy clusters over the next three years as part of a project called The Frontier Fields. Working together, the trio should be able to spot galaxies that existed just a few hundred million years after the Big Bangcreated our universe 13.8 billion years ago, NASA officials said.

"The Frontier Fields program is exactly what NASA's Great Observatories were designed to do: working together to unravel themysteries of the universe," NASA science chief John Grunsfeld said in a statement. "Each observatory collects images using different wavelengths of light, with the result that we get a much deeper understanding of the underlying physics of these celestial objects."
