Journal Mick Ohrberg's Journal: Spitzer Finds Missing Quasars

According to a NASA newsletter, the Spitzer Space Telescope has found a lot more quasars than previously was observable. It turns out that while a quasar outshines any other object, dust and gas can shield us from their radiation, both visible and Xray. Spitzer has been instructed to look in the infrared end of the spectrum, and has thus in a small patch of the sky discovered 21 previously unseen quasars. This of course means that reality finally matches another one of our theories.
