A new space observatory has been launched to hunt down and study the most powerful explosions seen in the Universe since the Big Bang itself.
The Swift satellite will detect and analyse gamma-ray bursts - very intense but fleeting flashes of radiation. Scientists think they may signal the birth of black holes which are created when giant stars fall in on themselves.
Swift - a combined US, UK and Italian mission - was launched on a Delta rocket from Cape Canaveral in Florida. The observatory carries three instruments which work together.
The Burst Alert Telescope has been built by the US space agency's (Nasa) Goddard research centre to detect and locate a gamma-ray burst over a wide portion of the sky. The information it provides will be used to swivel Swift directly at the burst position.
