In Germany scientists have made the "LUCIFER 1". It is a camera that will hopefully help the scientists see new stars being created. It uses infrared technology to see really far out. Even in its testing phase it has taken a close up picture of galaxy 6.2 million light years away. They are in the process of making another one. They say that they still have not yet been able to get all of the bugs out. It has 18 high quality filters. The scientist think that it will be completely ready by 2011.
This is just awesome. I think this a great achievement for scientists. Hopefully, by watching new stars form we can learn more about how our star formed. This achievement can lead up to so many new discoveries. It is really cool how far out this camera can see. I wish I hat a camera like this. I bet it is extremely expensive piece of equipment. I wonder what we will be able to see in 20 years.
