The year 2038 problem may cause some computer software to fail at some point near the year 2038. The problem affects all software and systems that both store system time as a signed 32-bit integer, and interpret this number as the number of seconds since 00:00:00 UTC on Thursday, 1 January 1970. The fu...

Submillimetre astronomy, (at wavelengths of 200µm to 1mm), is most sensitive to very cold gas and dust. For example, a source with a temperature of 10 K (-263 C) emits most of its energy in a broad spectral region centred around 300 microns. Such very cold material is associated with objects in format...
