    But we can't "see" them Damien -- they most likely radiate
    in the IR region. SIRTF which is supposed to go up later
    this month may be able to "see" them but getting them to
    point it at whatever places they might be -- there's the
    problem. [Review committees are inclined to point telescopes
    at things you can see, e.g. stars -- not things one cannot
    see, e.g. enshrouded stars.]
