AI Thread Summary
A new Space News forum has been created to feature daily updates on the top space and astronomy stories from phys.org. Users are encouraged to engage by posting comments and questions related to these stories. There is interest in expanding the forum to include broader physics-related news if the space news section proves successful. Suggestions for content can be made through a designated member profile. The forum aims to foster discussion and keep members informed about significant developments in space exploration.

Physics news on Phys.org
Why not a news section for any physics related news?

If space news is successful we'll consider broadening the scope.
 
After seeing the latest images of Pluto on the TV news I thought there may be a space news thread about them. Would it be okay to use the https://www.physicsforums.com/members/pf_spacenews.570908/ to make suggestions? If not, no problem.

We're just using a phys.org feed. Hopefully a pluto image story will pop in. Otherwise feel free to start a thread in the Astronomy forum.

Yes. I realized that after posting. Sorry.
 
I want to thank those members who interacted with me a couple of years ago in two Optics Forum threads. They were @Drakkith, @hutchphd, @Gleb1964, and @KAHR-Alpha. I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...
This came up in my job today (UXP). Never thought to raise it here on PF till now. Hyperlinks really should be underlined at all times. PF only underlines them when they are rolled over. Colour alone (especially dark blue/purple) makes it difficult to spot a hyperlink in a large block of text (or even a small one). Not everyone can see perfectly. Even if they don't suffer from colour deficiency, not everyone has the visual acuity to distinguish two very close shades of text. Hover actions...
About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
