Transcription: High energy radiation such as X-rays cannot be seen from Earth. In space however, specially built X-ray telescopes can be used to detect traces of radiation that might point the way to distant galaxies. Further exploration of trace radiation emissions may one day provide answers to the cosmic questions which now perplex scientists such as the origin of the cosmos, the nature of black holes and even the existence of extraterrestrials.
