On Sunday, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket stuffed with cargo carried a brand new NASA telescope into space, where it was observed deploying in Sun-synchronous orbit, the agency later confirmed. Dubbed Pandora, the orbital observatory is designed to hunt for distant worlds called exoplanets orbiting other stars. To espy distant worlds, astronomers look for when a planet passes in front of its star from our perspective. Over the course of its year-long mission, the telescope will revisit each star ten times, racking up hundreds of hours of observations.
