Going for the Gusto!
Featured on December 1, 2023
GUSTO, a balloon-borne telescope that will study the wisps of gas and dust between the stars, is scheduled to launch from Antarctica in December. The instruments will spend up to four months spiraling above the continent at altitudes of about 120,000 feet, above most of Earth's obscuring atmosphere.
