“The Cosmic Infrared Background Experiment (CIBER) (Bock et al, 2006), is a rocket-borne instrument designed to search for signatures of primordial galaxy and star formation in the cosmic near-infrared extra-galactic background, in the wavelength region 0.8 to 2 microns. Its launch, funded by NASA, is scheduled for September 2007. It is hoped that CIBER will settle the question of whether the DIRB really is the echo of the first stars and galaxies. CIBER consists of a wide-field two-colour camera, a low-resolution absolute spectrometer, and a high resolution narrow band imaging spectrometer. It will trace the Zodiacal Light with the low resolution spectrometer, using the intensity of scattered Fraunhofer lines, to provide an independent measurement of Zodiacal emission, and a new check on the Kelsall et al Zodiacal dust models, which were used to compare with the results of the Diffuse Infrared Background Experiment (DIRBE) of the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE).”
I give up… who?
Hmmm…you can’t give up that easily. So, a hint with respect to your answer:
Right genre but the wrong band.
Wyld Stallyns?
