Betelgeuse is ~47 milliarcseconds in diameter, making it one of the largest stars (in angular diameter terms) observable from Earth. It was first resolved using the Michelson Stell…

A while back I found a copy of my 1998-era and early 2000s websites on an old hard disk. The data were incomplete, so I went through a pretty fun process of recovering much of the …

We've been doing optical interferometry for quite some time. Homodyne techniques (see facilities, CHARA, VLTI, COAST, NPOI, SUSI) in which the light is interfered with itself are q…

You might try JPL's HEALPIX library.

Are there any reasonable, self-hosted alternatives that can provide me with information on how visitors use my website without submitting them to cross-site tracking?
