First Herschel Pictures

Herschel is the largest imaging telescope ever built for space. Its 3.5 meter mirror will observe the coldest and farthest objects in the universe. Its observations will help understanding the birth of stars and galaxies. Researchers of the Data Space group of i4Ds explore and develop new concepts and methods for the processing of the Herschel data.

The first Herschel pictures are released.
