 Huntsville AL (SPX) Jan 30, 2020 
Since ancient times, the study of astronomy has largely been limited to the flat, two-dimensional projection of what appears on the sky. However, just like a botanist puts a plant under a microscope or a paleontologist digs for fossils, astronomers want more "hands on" ways to visualize objects in space.
A new set of computer simulations represents an exciting step in that direction. Each ... more |
