	SWIRE: Spitzer Wide-Area Infrared Extragalactic Survey (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		SWIRE has imaged nearly 50 square degrees (equal to the area of 250 full moons) divided among 6 different directions on the sky, detecting over 2 million galaxies by their heat radiation, some of them over 11 billion light years away.
		SWIRE can detect a "typical" galaxy (an L* galaxy in astronomer's lingo) to a redshift of 2 (over 10 billion light years away).
		SWIRE is the Sloan Digital Sky Survey of redshift ~1 covering the same volume at this distance (which corresponds to almost 8 billion light years), as Sloan does in the much more local Universe.
