The Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer mission will survey the entire sky
in a portion of the electromagnetic spectrum called the mid-infrared with
far greater sensitivity than any previous mission or program ever has. The
survey will consist of over a million images, from which hundreds of
millions of astronomical objects will be catalogued, providing a vast
storehouse of knowledge about the solar system, the Milky Way, and the
universe.
