Context triple: [NASA astrophysics observatories, includes, COS-B (U.S. participation)]
  • A. Compton Gamma Ray Observatory
    The Compton Gamma Ray Observatory was a NASA space telescope dedicated to observing high-energy gamma-ray emissions from cosmic sources, significantly advancing our understanding of phenomena like gamma-ray bursts, pulsars, and active galactic nuclei.
  • B. Cosmic Background Explorer
    The Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) was a NASA satellite mission that made precise measurements of the cosmic microwave background radiation, providing key evidence for the Big Bang theory and earning its scientists the Nobel Prize in Physics.
  • C. Einstein Observatory
    The Einstein Observatory was NASA’s first fully imaging X-ray telescope in space, pioneering high-resolution X-ray astronomy of cosmic sources.
  • D. Infrared Astronomical Satellite
    The Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) was a pioneering space telescope launched in 1983 that conducted the first-ever all-sky survey at infrared wavelengths, dramatically expanding knowledge of stars, galaxies, and cosmic dust.
  • E. Uhuru X-ray satellite
    The Uhuru X-ray satellite was the first Earth-orbiting mission dedicated to X-ray astronomy, pioneering the systematic study of cosmic X-ray sources and laying the foundation for modern high-energy astrophysics.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
