Roy,
Now I wonder if I did send this link to science fiction stories
that use real science, here it is again
http://www.mikebrotherton.com/diamonds/?page_id=10 [1]
Diamonds in the Sky is a collection of astronomy-based science
fiction stories
edited by Mike Brotherton and funded under his National Science
Foundation
grant AST 05-07781. The purpose of the anthology is to provide
stories with
ample and accurate astronomy spanning a range of topics covered in
introductory courses. Instructors in high school and college may
these
stories useful, as some students may learn concepts more easily
through story
than from lecture. Fans of science fiction with good science should
also
enjoy these stories. Contributions include both original stories
and reprints
from some of the top science fiction writers working today. Special
thanks to
Jeremy Tolbert, Scott Humphries, and Nicole Wade for their efforts.
Robert Pendzick
