Scientific paper

The frontiers of astrophysics include the big bang and evolution of galaxies, the existence of hidden mass in the universe, quasars and active galactic nuclei, stars being born in molecular clouds, the origin and dissipation of solar and stellar magnetic fields, the solar neutrino flux, X-ray and gamma-ray bursts, and extraterrestrial intelligence. The NASA Astronomy Survey Committee has stated the four top priorities for the 1980s are, in order of importance, (1) the Advanced X-ray Astrophysics Facilitiy; (2) a very long baseline array of radio telescopes; (3) a new technology telescope of the 15-meter class on the ground; and (4) a large deployable reflector of the 10-meter class in space. Ongoing activities include the Space Telescope, the Gamma-Ray Observatory, and the Spacelab Infrared Telescope Facility.
