Researchers Recruit Armchair Astronomers To Find Space Warps And Brown Dwarfs
New York City :: NY :: USA | 17 days ago
Credibility
The Space Warps project, which launched today, is recruiting armchair astronomers to scour the universe for galaxies that are so massive they warp space time. These colossal collections of stars act as enormous magnifying glasses, bending light
