IRSA and the SSC announce the release of a new Spitzer legacy survey: the 5 mJy Unbiased Spitzer Extragalactic Survey (5MUSES). 5MUSES is a mid-infrared spectroscopic survey of 330 galaxies with f(24 um) > 5 mJy spanning a wide range of luminosity and redshift (z = 0.05 to 0.75) designed to bridge the gap between nearby galaxies and high redshift galaxies (z ~ 2). This release (DR1) consists of IRS spectra for 100 5MUSES galaxies.

Fourteen middle school, high school, and community college science teachers have been selected for the NASA/Infrared Processing and Analysis Center Teacher Archive Research Program (NITARP) nationwide. These individuals and their students will conduct astronomy research, make presentations at AAS meetings, and may publish their work in a refereed journal.

IRSA announces the release of several new datasets for the Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS). New images include Subaru intermediate band optical data and UKIRT J-band images. New source catalogs for Chandra and VLA data are available through Gator. Two new morphology catalogs (Cassata and Tasca) are also available, each with approximately 50% more sources than previous COSMOS morphology catalogs. See the COSMOS datasets page for more details.

This infrared snapshot of a region in the constellation Carina near the Milky Way was taken shortly after NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) ejected its cover. The "first-light" picture shows thousands of stars and covers an area three times the size of the Moon. Over the course of the mission, WISE will take more than a million similar pictures covering the whole sky. The initial WISE data release at IRSA is scheduled for Spring 2011. This eight-second exposure shows infrared light from three of WISE's four wavelength bands: Blue, green and red correspond to 3.4, 4.6, and 12 microns, respectively.
