**GALEX~ takes pics of stars being born near the outskirts of the galaxy ~ can reach places over 15million light years away ~ remote stars were discoverd in the "outback" of other galaxies ~ an orbiting space telescope observing galaxies in ultraviolent light ~launched into orbit at 8 a.m. EDT on April 28th, 2005 **~ **originally was going to last 29 months but his mission was extended in 2006** ~ **Led by the California Institute of Technology

EPOXI~ NASA's deep impact spacecraft ~ sends out impactors to study objects in space ~ made history when the mission team directed an impactor into comet Tempel 1 on July 4, 2005** ~ **Currently looking at 5 new stars for alein planets** ~ **has discovered more than 200 exosolar planets** ~ **looks at stars and thier planets and what light they emit to figure out what thier atmosheres are like** ~ **Led by the "Epoxi Team" by the University of Maryland astronomer Micheal A'Hearn**
