Hello and Welcome! I hope you like the place. --mav

Hi, Looxix. Nice work on Nikolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky. This article was wainting for someone to start it. I'll try to tide up a bit more your quite huge stub - when I find a time. Shall we use naming of Lobachevsky instead of Lobachevskii in it? Check out also other great Russian mathematicians (e.g. Pafnuty Lvovich Chebyshev and his most talented student Aleksandr Mikhailovich Lyapunov...) Best regards. --XJamRastafire

Hi there. I see you've just created Gravitational lense -- however there's already Gravitational lens; you'll need to merge your material in to the Gravitational lens page. -- Tarquin 00:41 Jan 28, 2003 (UTC)

DES probably doesn't have much to do with astronomy, but data compression does. It is useful to be able to use non-lossy compression when receiving data from, for example, probes launched in the solar system. Also, in the releasen of the Palomar digitized Sky Survey, they had to use data compression to fit the sky in just a few tens of CD-ROMS. Just a couple of examples.--AN 20:26 Feb 6, 2003 (UTC)

I completely agree, but is this an astronomical topic?

a lot of things are usefull for astro: for example everything vaguely related to electronic have probably an use for something related to astronomy.

The list is supposed to be inclusive. The idea is not that someone looks for his astronomical topics to study there, but that anyone interested in keeping and eye on everything astronomy can go to that page and do a "Related Changes". In case of doubt, I'd say include. The page is already illegible, you are not going to improve much taking stuff out of there.

Thanks for your work on the List of physcis topics page!!! Chas zzz brown 18:41 Feb 10, 2003 (UTC)
