An integral field spectrograph, INFUSE is the first of its kind instrument to be sent into orbit and combines the advantages of spectroscopy and imaging, two approaches to investigating light. It will be researching the Cygnus Loop which is located close to the well-known constellation Cygnus.Cygnus is often referred to as the "Swan" and is frequently shown in classical representations as a bird with its wings spread wide.
The Cygnus Loop presents itself as a delicate and intricate network of glowing filaments and wispy structures of gas and dust. These structures are a result of the shockwaves generated by the supernova explosion interacting with the surrounding interstellar medium.The Cygnus Loop offers a unique view of a supernova explosion that is still happening. The huge cloud is still growing today, spanning more than 120 light-years and spreading at a speed of about 930,000 miles per hour .
“INFUSE will observe how the supernova dumps energy into the Milky Way by catching light given off just as the blast wave crashes into pockets of cold gas floating around the galaxy.”
