2024/11/14

Practically speaking. Hosted by the ever practical Steve Nerlich. Dear Cheap Astronomy – Is in situ resource utilization really worth the trouble? Here at Cheap Astronomy we tend to say disparaging things about in-situ resource utilization, but usually in response to suggestions that if we want to land on Mars all we have to do is make rocket fuel out of in situ resources to take off again. While ostensibly true, a substantial amount of infrastructure would be needed to both source and refine the

NOIR Lab - Quasar In The Early Universe

2024/11/09

Observations using the Dark Energy Camera (DECam) confirm astronomers’ expectation that early-Universe quasars formed in regions of space densely populated with companion galaxies. DECam’s exceptionally wide field of view and special filters played a crucial role in reaching this conclusion, and the observations reveal why previous studies seeking to characterize the density of early-Universe quasar neighborhoods have yielded conflicting results. In this podcast, Dr. Trysten Lambert discusses how
