Euronews: Herschel Telescope in the final stages of completion
The Herschel programme
is rapidly moving
towards its 2007
launch schedule.
The Herschel
telescope will
be the largest
orbiting telescope
ever built and
will enable scientists
to further examine
the composition
of our galaxy
using infrared
technology. Click here
to watch a video
(presented during the week of Sept 26th, 2005) of
scientists working
on the assembly
of the Herschel
telescope.

Simulation
of Star Formation
A scientific simulation shows an even distribution of cold molecular
matter, equivalent to 50 solar masses at an initial temperature
of 10 K or -263 Celsius, collapse into filaments where stars are
created in the denser regions.

University of Exeter)
