Herschel results stream in

The first science results from the ultra-cold telescope Herschel are being announced this week at a meeting organised by the European Space Agency.

Herschel, which was launched a year ago along with Planck, is looking in the infrared, places where cool objects, like young stars and molecular clouds, can be found. These processes will give astronomers a better inkling about how stars and galaxies were first formed billions of years ago.
