"UH Astronomer Finds Giant Galaxy Hosting the Most Distant Supermassive Black Hole
University of Hawaii astronomer Dr. Tomotsugu Goto and colleagues
have discovered a giant galaxy surrounding the most distant black
hole ever found. The galaxy, which is 12.8 billion light-years from
Earth, is as large as the Milky Way galaxy and harbors a
supermassive black hole that contains at least a billion times as
much matter as does our Sun.
Dr. Goto stated, "It is surprising that such a giant galaxy existed
when the Universe was only one-sixteenth of its present age, and that
it hosted a black hole one billion times more massive than the sun.
The galaxy and black hole must have formed very rapidly in the early
universe.""

DTO 701A TriDAR Sensor (Triangulation and LIDAR Automated Rendezvous and Docking)
The TriDAR Sensor is a 3D autonomous rendezvous and docking system that will be integrated into the space shuttle orbiter to demonstrate that technology in low Earth orbit.
The complete vision system will incorporate scanning laser ranging and imaging capability, along with software to perform real-time tracking and six degrees of freedom pose calculation, to allow spacecraft rendezvous and docking without typical target markers.
Future applications include using TriDAR for multifunction sensor robotic operations, potentially assisting with lander guidance, rover navigation, vehicle inspection, and exploration science.
Such flexible capability in a single sensor will be critical in future exploration missions where size, weight, and power limits are small.
Developed by Canada’s Neptec Design Company, TriDAR is a dual sensing, multi-purpose scanner capable of full pose – six degrees of freedom – and sensors for long range rendezvous, vehicle inspection and hazard avoidance. It is a hybrid scanner combining features of the Orbiter Boom Sensor System Laser Camera System with a long-range Time of Flight or LIDAR system.
Unlike pure LIDAR system, the TriDAR operates at distances ranging from 0.5 meters to more than 2,000 meters.

DTO 701A TriDAR Sensor (Triangulation and LIDAR Automated Rendezvous and Docking)
The TriDAR Sensor is a 3D autonomous rendezvous and docking system that will be integrated into the space shuttle orbiter to demonstrate that technology in low Earth orbit.
The complete vision system will incorporate scanning laser ranging and imaging capability, along with software to perform real-time tracking and six degrees of freedom pose calculation, to allow spacecraft rendezvous and docking without typical target markers.
Future applications include using TriDAR for multifunction sensor robotic operations, potentially assisting with lander guidance, rover navigation, vehicle inspection, and exploration science.
Such flexible capability in a single sensor will be critical in future exploration missions where size, weight, and power limits are small.
Developed by Canada’s Neptec Design Company, TriDAR is a dual sensing, multi-purpose scanner capable of full pose – six degrees of freedom – and sensors for long range rendezvous, vehicle inspection and hazard avoidance. It is a hybrid scanner combining features of the Orbiter Boom Sensor System Laser Camera System with a long-range Time of Flight or LIDAR system.
Unlike pure LIDAR system, the TriDAR operates at distances ranging from 0.5 meters to more than 2,000 meters.

A black hole host galaxy at z=6.43
"UH Astronomer Finds Giant Galaxy Hosting the Most Distant Supermassive Black Hole
University of Hawaii astronomer Dr. Tomotsugu Goto and colleagues
have discovered a giant galaxy surrounding the most distant black
hole ever found. The galaxy, which is 12.8 billion light-years from
Earth, is as large as the Milky Way galaxy and harbors a
supermassive black hole that contains at least a billion times as
much matter as does our Sun.
Dr. Goto stated, "It is surprising that such a giant galaxy existed
when the Universe was only one-sixteenth of its present age, and that
it hosted a black hole one billion times more massive than the sun.
The galaxy and black hole must have formed very rapidly in the early
universe.""

Jupiter Without Moons - SkyandTelescope.com
"On the night of September 2-3, 2009, a remarkable celestial event will take place. From 4:43 to 6:29 Universal Time on the 3rd (which is 12:43 to 2:29 a.m. EDT on the 3rd, or 9:43 to 11:29 p.m PDT on the 2nd), a casual look at Jupiter through a telescope will show no moons at all. It's quite common for one of the four Galilean moons be hidden, and it's not rare to see only two moons. But only a few times in a century do all four moons hide simultaneously behind or in front of Jupiter. "

TriDAR Sensor (Triangulation and LIDAR Automated Rendezvous and Docking)
STS-128_Press_Kit.pdf
DTO 701A TriDAR Sensor (Triangulation and LIDAR Automated Rendezvous and Docking)
The TriDAR Sensor is a 3D autonomous rendezvous and docking system that will be integrated into the space shuttle orbiter to demonstrate that technology in low Earth orbit.
The complete vision system will incorporate scanning laser ranging and imaging capability, along with software to perform real-time tracking and six degrees of freedom pose calculation, to allow spacecraft rendezvous and docking without typical target markers.
Future applications include using TriDAR for multifunction sensor robotic operations, potentially assisting with lander guidance, rover navigation, vehicle inspection, and exploration science.
Such flexible capability in a single sensor will be critical in future exploration missions where size, weight, and power limits are small.
Developed by Canada’s Neptec Design Company, TriDAR is a dual sensing, multi-purpose scanner capable of full pose – six degrees of freedom – and sensors for long range rendezvous, vehicle inspection and hazard avoidance. It is a hybrid scanner combining features of the Orbiter Boom Sensor System Laser Camera System with a long-range Time of Flight or LIDAR system.
Unlike pure LIDAR system, the TriDAR operates at distances ranging from 0.5 meters to more than 2,000 meters.

A black hole host galaxy at z=6.43
"UH Astronomer Finds Giant Galaxy Hosting the Most Distant Supermassive Black Hole
University of Hawaii astronomer Dr. Tomotsugu Goto and colleagues
have discovered a giant galaxy surrounding the most distant black
hole ever found. The galaxy, which is 12.8 billion light-years from
Earth, is as large as the Milky Way galaxy and harbors a
supermassive black hole that contains at least a billion times as
much matter as does our Sun.
Dr. Goto stated, "It is surprising that such a giant galaxy existed
when the Universe was only one-sixteenth of its present age, and that
it hosted a black hole one billion times more massive than the sun.
The galaxy and black hole must have formed very rapidly in the early
universe.""

http://www.ifa.hawaii.edu/~tomo/QSOhost/QSOhost_v7.pdf
"すばる望遠鏡１２８億光年彼方に宇宙最遠方の超巨大ブ ラックホールホスト銀河を発見。
ハワイ大学の後藤友嗣研究員らは宇宙最遠方超巨大ブラックホールの周りに、これを取り巻く巨大銀河を発見しました。
巨大銀河は地球から１２８億光年の彼方にありながら、天の川銀河と同じ程度の大きさで、太陽の十億倍もの質量をもつ超巨大ブラックホールを中心に持っています。
「宇宙の年齢がわずか現在の１／１６だった時代に巨大銀河が存在して
太陽の１０億倍もの質量の超巨大ブラックホールを持っていたことは驚くべき事実だ。巨大銀河とブラックホールは宇宙初期に急激に進化したに違いない。」と話しています。"
