Описание: Most telescopes in the world work at visible light wavelengths because this is where stars shine the brightest. However in those places where new objects (e.g. planets, stars, and galaxies) are being born the light is emitted at much longer wavelengths. Thus, to observe the births of new objects requires instrumentation in the far-infrared and submillimeter. Facilities at these wavelengths are either recently built or still under development. In this talk I will review the observational signatures of the formation of new objects, the instruments available, and some of the new instruments under development to do this science. One of these new instruments, the Herschel Space Observatory was launched in May of 2009 - containing a significant piece of Waterloo hardware!
