The Lunar Surface Electromagnetics Explorer 'LuSEE Night' is a low frequency radio astronomy experiment that will be delivered to the farside of the Moon by the NASA Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program in late 2025 or early 2026. The pay...
Visualisation of data is critical to understanding astronomical phenomena. Today, many instruments produce datasets that are too big to be downloaded to a local computer, yet many of the visualisation tools used by astronomers are deployed only on de...
(Out of transparency a Full disclaimer before you read further, I’m a beginner in programming so I did take some help from AI to code this simulation , however I’ve verified the math by hand and v...
Astronomy produces extremely large data sets from ground-based telescopes, space missions, and simulation. The volume and complexity of these rich data sets require new approaches and advanced tools to understand the information contained therein. No...
The basic equations and geometry of gravitational lensing are described, as well as the most important contexts in which it is observed in astronomy: strong lensing, weak lensing and microlensing....
The central theme of the work is water, but this quickly expands into astronomy (because he believed that the moon’s surface was covered in water), light and shade, and mechanics, as he investigates...
Following the successful dipole test on 53 SCP SNe Ia presented at SAIt2004 in Milan, this 9th contribution to the ECM series beginning in 1999 in Naples (43th SAIt meeting: "Revolutions in Astronomy") deals with the construction of the new wedge-sha...
Not sure if I should ask this or in a space or astronomy subreddit. I’ve learned a lot from space engine so far and I was wondering how realistic this is. This is the first time I find a neutron sta...
The overarching goal of planetary astronomy is to deduce how the present collection of objects found in our Solar System were formed from the original material present in the proto-solar nebula. As over two hundred exo-planetary systems are now kno...
The star becomes a red giant or red supergiant, so called because of its large size and red color. The large surface area with accompanying low surface gravity results in an extremely powerful stellar …

Gravitational-wave (GW) astronomy has advanced our understanding of compact mergers through instruments like the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO). However, the extreme sensitivity required for these detections makes the inst...

How relevant is it for our society? Everything useful we got from it is a bunch of space wallpaper's and a black hole meme. It has literally no practical application. Change my mind, if you can, maybe...
