Center for Astrophysics Harvard & Smithsonian. How can we expand the limits of human knowledge further into the unknown? The Center for Astrophysics is a collaboration between the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and Harvard College Observatory that’s designed to ask big questions about the universe, build the tools needed to answer them, and share the resulting discoveries with the world.
Welcome to the CfA | lweb.cfa.harvard.edu/
In the past decade, astronomers have identified more than one hundred planets orbiting stars other than the Sun and will soon have the tools to search for small, rocky, Earth-like planets. In the past five years, we have come to understand that the expansion of the Universe is accelerating owing to the presence of "dark energy" and we are on the cusp of technologies to explore this strange and ...
