While Kepler was still working in Graz during 1598, some letters to his mentor Michael Maestlin demonstrate his interest in astronomical clocks and machines. The first letter, dated January 6, 1598 contains a detailed description of a…
In the past, Kepler painstakingly derived laws of planetary motion using difficult to understand and hard to follow techniques. In 1843 William Hamilton created and described the quaternions, which extend the complex numbers and can easily…
The paper explores the use of various machine learning methods to search for heterogeneous or atypical structures on astronomical maps. The study was conducted on the maps of the cosmic microwave background radiation from the Planck mission…
Risk to human astronauts and interplanetary distance causing slow and limited communication drives scientists to pursue an autonomous approach to exploring distant planets, such as Mars. A portion of exploration of Mars has been conducted…
Neural networks have provided powerful approaches to solve various scientific problems. Many of them are even difficult for human experts who are good at accessing the physical laws from experimental data. We investigate whether neural…
