| Description: | The Origins Space Telescope (OST) will trace the history of our origins from the time dust and heavy elements permanently altered the cosmic landscape to present-day life. How did the universe evolve in response to its changing ingredients? Why is the Earth wet? How common are life-bearing planets? To enable the community to answer these and other important questions, OST will operate at mid and far-infrared wavelengths and offer sensitivity and spectroscopic capabilities vastly exceeding those found in any preceding far-IR observatory. |
