Cosmic Background Explorer

Target entity: Cosmic Background Explorer
Context triple: [NASA/IPAC Infrared Science Archive, missionArchiveFor, Cosmic Background Explorer]

• A. 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.
• B. 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.
• C. International Ultraviolet Explorer
  The International Ultraviolet Explorer was a space telescope launched in 1978 that provided pioneering ultraviolet observations of astronomical objects for nearly two decades.
• D. Apollo Telescope Mount
  The Apollo Telescope Mount was a solar observatory module used on NASA’s Skylab space station to conduct detailed studies of the Sun in multiple wavelengths.
• E. Hubble Space Telescope
  The Hubble Space Telescope is a large, space-based observatory that has provided some of the most detailed images and data about the universe, revolutionizing modern astronomy and cosmology.
• F. None of above. chosen
• G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.

Target entity: Cosmic Background Explorer
Target entity description: 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.
