"A new extrasolar planet has been discovered using a new technique that will allow astronomers to detect
planets no other current method can. Planets around other stars have been previously detected only by the
effect they have on their parent star, limiting the observations to large, Jupiter-like planets and those in very
tight orbits."

"Quasars are extremely bright pinpoints of light so distant in space and time that it's thought we're seeing them
near the beginning of the universe. They are very young galaxies, with giant black holes at their cores. As
material spirals around a black hole, it heats up before falling in, giving off massive amounts of radiation."
