Unhappy Herschel Telescope's last year.

A fantastic amount of data has been collected by this telescope, But now it is in the twilight of its mission, and ESA has released an amazing image of the Large Magellanic Cloud as you have never seen it before.

When it is all gone, the temperature of the instruments and their detectors will rise and the telescope will go blind.
That line made me feel very sad.
