Ten years ago, the booster "Delta II» into orbit space telescope, "Spitzer", which became the fourth largest observatory in space.With "Spitzer" scientists studied comets and asteroids, considered the stars, and, above all, have found buckyballs - carbon spheres, which are crucial for the formation of stars.
