BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Japan launches space telescope
"A rocket carrying a satellite space telescope has lifted off from the Uchinoura
Space Centre in Japan. The M-5 rocket blasted off at 0628 local time (2128 GMT Tuesday) after a 48-hour delay caused by heavy rain. The Astro-F probe will use infrared wavelengths to study the heat glow of space objects hidden by clouds of cosmic dust. European astronomers are collaborating with Japan on the 500-day mission to make a map of the Universe."
