The Telescope was a magazine for amateur astronomy amateur astronomers published between 1931 and 1941. The magazine was first published as a quarterly under the editorship of Harlan Stetson, director of the Perkins Observatory in Ohio. It featured popular articles about contemporary research. In 1934 Stetson moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts and brought the magazine with him. Publishing duties were assumed jointly by the Harvard College Observatory and the Bond Astronomical Club, under the editorship of Donald H. Menzel .

Subthreshold membrane potential oscillations are rhythmic fluctuations of the voltage difference between the interior and exterior of a neuron , in the nervous system . Neurons produce action potentials when their membrane potential increases past a critical threshold. If the voltage is below the threshold the neuron does not fire, but the membrane potential still fluctuates due to postsynaptic potential postsynaptic potentials and intrinsic electrical properties of neurons. In some type of neurons, the membrane potential can oscillation oscillate at specific frequencies. Although subthreshold oscillations do not directly result in neuronal firing, they may facilitate neural synchronization synchronous activity of neighboring neurons. It may also facilitate computation, particularly processing of sensory signals Overview Neurons display, beyond synapse synaptic and action potentials , rhythmic subthreshold membrane potential oscillations a particular type of neural oscillations .

The Viper telescope is used to view mainly cosmic background radiation . Currently the telescope is helping scientists prove or disprove the Big Crunch theory. The telescope is also one of the most powerful of its kind. Previous cosmic background telescopes were smaller and did not have the ability to focus on the detailed measurement of distant clouds that Viper does. Location The Viper telescope is located at the Center for Astrophysical Research, also known as CARA in the Amundsen Scott station in Antarctica. The Viper project is run by many scientists team leader Dr. Jeffrey Peterson is a Carnegie Mellon astrophysicist who currently works to view distant clouds in the universe. Current uses The Viper telescope is being used to image the anisotropy seen in the universe. Inflation theory states the glowing clouds of gas in the sky would be in the form of an arc about math 1 2 math degree in the sky. The Viper telescope was able to confirm inflation theory, clearly showing the length of the arc was math 1 2 math a degree. Recently the telescope was able to detect tiny fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background radiation. This can give astronomers vast information about the distribution of matter in the proto Universe, such as how galaxies, stars, planets , and quasars formed from the free floating protons and electrons that made up the so called primordial soup .
