-- Space observatory to Study the Old, the Cold, and the Dusty

"A NASA observatory will soon open a new window to the universe. By using infrared technology to study
celestial objects, which are either too cool, too dust-enshrouded or too far away to otherwise be seen, NASA's
Space Infrared Telescope Facility (SIRTF), will pierce the thick dust that permeates the universe. From its
Earth-trailing orbit around the sun, SIRTF, set to launch on April 18, will unveil new information about galaxies,
stars, and dusty discs around nearby stars, which may be "planetary construction zones."

"Supermassive black holes, notorious for ripping apart and swallowing stars, might also help seed interstellar
space with the elements necessary for life, such as hydrogen, carbon, oxygen and iron, scientists say. Using
NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and ESA's XMM-Newton satellite, scientists at Penn State University and
the Massachusetts Institute of Technology found evidence of high-speed winds blowing away copious amounts
of gas from the cores of two quasar galaxies, which are thought to be powered by black holes."
