The Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) Mission is a
NASA-funded mission that is providing a vast storehouse of knowledge
about the solar system, the Milky Way, and the Universe. Among the
objects WISE is currently studying are asteroids, the coolest and
dimmest stars, and the most luminous galaxies.

Dr. Ned Wright of University of California at Los Angeles is principal
investigator for the WISE Mission. Ned grew up in Fairfax County,
