The aim of this assignment is to teach you how to carry out a very common programming task: reading in a bunch of data from a text file, doing something with it then writing the results out again. ... The goal of the assignment is to write a computer program which will select this sample for you. You will pick the micro-quasars to observe from a rather large catalogue, which can be found here: The catalogue is an ASCII (text) file - you can inspect it with a normal text editor. ...

... But light has many more secrets. For example, did you know that the light that we can see with our eyes is only one of many types of light? ... This is because when people are talking specifically about the type that we can see with our eyes, they usually only call it light when they should actually say visible light . While our eyes can only see visible light, special cameras can detect the other types. Things look very different when you photograph them in a different type of light. ...
