Advanced Imaging Rises to the Task of Detecting Space Debris
The space industry has undergone a remarkable transformation in recent years. Once the domain of big-budget government projects, the field has increasingly seen the entry of more and more commercial...
Editorial
The value of asking
Are certain scientific discoveries inevitable? Had Einstein not developed the general theory of relativity first, would some other physicist have eventually laid claim to it? Had Alexander Fleming not observed the moldy petri dish, would someone else have pioneered penicillin? Such questions are compelling to speculate about. But a more practical line of inquiry might ask whether certain...
