Goodbye Herschel Space Telescope The Herschel press-release talks of “EoHe”. I thought it meant “End of Herschel”, but it means “End of Helium”. Helium is the coolant that enables Herschel to reach near absolute-temperatures in space, necessary to make observations in the infrared.   Photo from: http://www.esa.int/Our_Activities/Space_Science/Herschel/Herschel_closes_its_eyes_on_the_Universe
