GRANAT is the Russian x-ray sattelite launched to the high apogee orbit (200,000 km) and operated almost for 10 years (1989 -1999) , carrying out four major instruments: French SIGMA coded-mask hard x-ray telescope (30-1000 keV), Soviet ART-P coded-mask telescope (2??-60?? keV), all-sky monitor WATCH (6-150 keV), and a gamma-burst detector PHEBUS . ... Since September 1994, GRANAT is in the survey mode. ... Explore pages devoted to individual GRANAT instruments (including main scientific results): . ...

... The project assumes creation of an international space observatory - the interferometer "Earth - Space - Space" in order to perform of astronomical investigations in millimeter, submillimeter and infrared regions with extremely high sensitivity (to a few nanoJanskies units of flux density in continuum spectrum) and extremely high angular resolution (to a parts of microsecond of arc or, possibly, nanosecond). ... radio-interferometric channels of the system "Space - Space", region 0.2 - 3 mm; . ...

... We present preliminary results from two programs to image the host galaxies of radio-quiet quasars in 1.6 micron light using NICMOS camera 2 on HST. The high redshift program consists of QSOs covering the redshift range 0.8 < z < 4.4 and a range of QSO luminosities. Of the six objects for which data have been obtained the results range from no host galaxy detected, to an obvious galaxy with an interacting companion, to a possible high redshift galaxy cluster. ...

Astronomy Picture of the Day . Galaxies in the GOODS . ... Credit: NASA , ESA , GOODS Team , M. Giavalisco ( STScI ) Explanation: This tantalizing view of galaxies scattered near and far is part of the Hubble Space Telescope's contribution to the GOODS - the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey project. The GOODS' goal is to study galaxy formation and evolution over an unprecedent wide range of cosmic distances , therefore spanning time from the present to the early Universe. ...
