Description:
The Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) satellite is a NASA mission led by the California Institute of Technology to investigate how star formation in galaxies evolved from the early Universe up to the present. GALEX uses microchannel plate detectors to obtain direct images in the near-UV (NUV) and far-UV (FUV) and a grism to disperse light for low resolution spectroscopy
