Whipple's method in astronomy

Whipple's method is a technique used in astronomy to study the structure and composition of objects like galaxies and nebulae. It involves analyzing the light they emit or block to determine properties such as size, shape, and material density. By examining how light changes as it passes through or reflects off an object, astronomers can infer details about its internal makeup. This method helps scientists understand the formation and evolution of cosmic structures without physically visiting them, relying instead on detailed observations and mathematical models to interpret the data.
