Modern detectors permit astronomers to examine galaxies at very low light levels, at very high velocity resolution, and for nearby objects, at very high spatial resolution. Such observations will lead to phenomenon not previously detected, and offer new insights into the phenomena we presently lump under the heading of “activity.”
