 European agreement on James Webb Space Telescope's Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) signed   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
MIRI, the Mid-Infrared Instrument, is one of the four instruments on board the JWST, the mission scheduled to follow on the heritage of Hubble in 2011.
MIRI (Mid-Infrared Camera-Spectrograph) is essential for the study of the old and distant stellar population; regions of obscured star formation; hydrogen emission from previously unthinkable distances; the physics of protostars; and the sizes of 'Kuiper belt' objects and faint comets.
Further to the contribution to MIRI, Europe through ESA is contributing to JWST with the NIRSPEC (Near-Infrared multi-object Spectrograph) instrument (fully funded and managed by ESA) and, as agreed in principle with NASA, with the Ariane 5 launcher.

Being that Miri is the first to ply her trade, she’s basically making it up as she goes along—freestyling, as it were—so she isn’t limited by any preestablished rules.
The things that set Miri apart from others in the rap industry go deeper than her country of origin (Lyor Cohen’s business acumen notwithstanding, Israel ain’t exactly a hip-hop factory), or the fact that she is White.
Though her genre of choice is one that critics often blast for its lack of musicality, Miri compares the rhythmic innovation and access to improvisation hip-hop affords to that of jazz.
