I wonder if these instruments are actually providing accurate measurements though... if they weren’t designed for such temperatures how can we be sure that they are not introducing artifacts?
- TaylorAlexander 7y agoWell I don’t think scientists blindly trust the instruments. They probably say “instrument X provided measurement Y” and then they can argue for decades as to the accuracy of the measurement.
- zaarn 7y agoWe don't know if they worked to begin with. That region of space is unexplored, there is no baseline to compare with to see if the instrument gives sensible data.
