Abstract
NEOWISE began as the Wide-field Survey Explorer (WISE), a highly sensitive astronomical telescope that surveyed the entire sky in four mid‐infrared bands spanning from 2.6 to 26 microns. Launched in December 2009, WISE scanned the entire sky one and a half times and cataloged hundreds of millions of astronomical objects, including many asteroids, brown dwarf stars, and ultra‐ luminous infrared galaxies.
