Image processing in astronomy
Is anyone here familiar with image processing and common data formats used in astronomy. I've been working on a small program and wanted to see if it could be useful for some simple image processing in relation to astronomy. I'm not familiar with what formats are used, like what kind of contrast res...

The Alex Jones of Physics.
I see he got the same background as me, just another computer scientist with a strong opinion. Anyway, it's his website so he's free to moderate the wiki, just as the moderators of this forum are.
But still, he's seems like a funny guy: Axions of Evil![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

Specifically, how did (do?) they account for the observations presented in APOD 14 January, 2007 ? I remember seeing a segment on a PBS broadcast named Monster of the Milky Way, where astronomer Andrea Ghez shows the dramatic u-turn of a star in the center of our galaxy. Couldn't find any clip thou...

I'm not completely sold on Arp's ideas, but I am completely sold on investigating more into his ideas and think the established astronomical community that is denying him funding and observatory time is doing so at its own peril of ignoring the truth and of being in denial and sticking to their his...

Re: Help me understand..
I am having a hard time grasping the concept of using telescopes to look back to the big bang. If everything started from one point in exsistance, how far has the earth traveled from this point of origin, and how long did it take? To one level of accuracy, the Earth has not moved at all ... it is i...

Harry, I recently stumbled across a great introduction to physics dubbed Physics for Future Presidents , taught by a man called Richard A. Muller (UC Berkeley) . The course teaches basic physics for non-physicist. Hardly any math is involved, but the ideas of a wide range of topics are explained in...

Thanks for the links. Great photos. What I am wondering is, has anyone assembled these photos from available resources to create a picture of the sky that contain all of these impressions? Hope that makes more sense. I recently stumbled across a student work of Andromeda backdropped to the moon and...

Another clue is to look for ALL CAPTION headers. :roll: I see a lot of blogs using spam filtering software that blocks new user comments based on rules. I guess spam recognition software is a disciplin of it's own, so looking for some software extension to this forum software might be the way to go....

It shows how stupid some cosmologists with position with lack of info directed the science and observations and results. Hehe. I guessed it would appeal to you, though I'm in no way convinced by this documentary, it's still interesting to get other perspectives. Hopefully it can fuel another 40 pag...
