The Einstein ring, formed as light from a distant galaxy bends to glow around another object in the foreground, could help ...

New experimental results showed that Wien’s law was invalid. On October 19, 1900, Planck presented a new radiation law. In its derivation he set aside his reservations about the Boltzmann method and ...

In this section we will learn about the CMB data from WMAP (http://map.gsfc.nasa.gov/) and Planck (http://www.esa.int/Our_Activities/Space_Science/Planck). The goals ...

Planck was as steeped in traditional physics as his colleagues, but he had an open mind. The older way wasn't working. So he changed one basic assumption: energy, instead of being continuous ...

But the distribution of energy radiated in "real life" never matched up with the predictions of classical physics. Several distinguished physicists had created complex equations trying to work it out, ...

The structure is nearly 600 million light-years from Earth and is an early display of the nascent dark matter telescope's ...

Europe's Euclid space telescope has detected a rare halo of bright light around a nearby galaxy, astronomers reported Monday.

"They're so rare, and they're incredibly useful scientifically," said Conor O'Riordan of the Max Planck Institute for ...

That’s pretty much all you need for instruments to determine Planck’s constant to a decent ... LED from the somewhat grandly named “photon energy array” and provide a way to adjust and ...
