In doing so, the authors manage to sneak in a lot of fundamental astronomy, ensuring that their readers will come away with a good basic understanding of how stars and the universe form and evolve.

The measurement methods used in radio astronomy enable many issues of fundamental physics to be studied, ranging from the equation-of-state of super-dense matter (in neutron stars, for example) to the ...

To what extent should we accept non-empirical strategies for scientific theory assessment? Many core aspects of contemporary fundamental physics are far from empirically well-confirmed. There is ...

The APS department is also very active in astronomy education and outreach in the community. Graduate and undergraduate students are involved with producing and operating shows at Fiske. Students also ...

Astronomers have found evidence of a process that supports an alternative, more rapid approach to planetary formation, more top down than bottom up. By Katrina Miller The SpaceX capsule, whose ...

Monty Rakusen / Getty Images There are two main schools of thought when evaluating investments and making trading decisions: fundamental analysis and technical analysis. While both aim to predict ...

Zach Eilon's research covers several aspects of structural seismology, with a focus on answering fundamental questions about tectonic processes using seismic tools. His research areas include zones of ...

Weeks before Europa Clipper was to be shipped for launch, scientists discovered a potentially fatal flaw that might endanger the spacecraft’s ability to study an ocean moon of Jupiter. By ...

It’s important to know what features best match your workflow before you commit to a PDF editor. The most fundamental function of a PDF editor is to make PDFs, either from scratch, scanned hard ...

Why Are PDFs So Hard to Edit? As a format, the PDF was devised before people used web browsers, and as mentioned, it's based on the idea of a printed page. That means you can't add a few lines of ...
