Unfortunately, they can’t because they aren’t divine at all; they are just web spiders who index pages by following one hyperlink after the other.

Delta Launch Report | WISE observatory sheds l
WISE observatory sheds lens cap and takes in starlight BY JUSTIN RAYSPACEFLIGHT NOWPosted: December 29, 2009 NASA's new cosmic mapper successfully jettisoned a protective lens cover Tuesday, opening its infrared eyes to Universe for an unprecedented survey in 2010. A United Launch Alliance Delta 2 rocket delivered the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer spacecraft into polar orbit from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California on December 14. The cover was secured atop the Thermos-like bottle structure that holds the observatory's telescope and state-of-the-art detectors in supercold frozen hydrogen. The cap was designed to keep out light during the early days of the mission while controllers ensured the spacecraft's orientation system would operate correctly, preventing an accidental blinding by looking at the sun or down at Earth. The one-month checkout and preparatory period for the observatory achieved its key milestone when the cover was commanded to separate at about 5:30 p.m.
