The Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian Solar, Stellar & Planetary Sciences (SSP) division research is directed toward understanding star and planet formation and the physical processes in the Sun, stars, planets, and stellar systems. Solar, Stellar, and Planetary Sciences The Center…
Everything you’ve ever seen or experienced on Earth was once a nebulous collection of floating gas and dust. Science is starting to understand how those particles came to take the forms you recognize today, teaching us about Earth’s primordial history…
"What's exciting is that we're showing how computation can help overcome limitations of the telescope itself," Bouman continues. "By combining a physical model of the instrument with optimization techniques from machine learning, we have been able to remove starlight much…
