|  Astronomers to penetrate clouds of obscuring dust to look at comets. SCUBA 2 is in Development. Sep 29, 2003 The Canadian Federation for Innovation announced today that it will be contributing $12.3 million CDN for the development of the SCUBA 2 project - an instrument that will be able to detect objects in the sub-millimetre wavelengths (in between radio and infrared). SCUBA 2 will be faster, imaging objects in hours instead of weeks, and it will be much more sensitive, allowing it to look further into space. Sub-millimetre astronomy is a newer field of research, which allows Astronomers to penetrate clouds of obscuring dust to look at comets, the birthplace of stars, and distant galaxies.
