Often overlooked, however, is the incremental gain in knowledge from these encounters over that which had been known in the early 1970s when th

Diffuse Interstellar Clouds measurements. The focus of this review is on spectroscopic work involving atomic and molecular lines. From these measurements, the physical and chemical makeup of the clouds is derived. Here we stress that technological advances have influenced our perception of diffuse clouds.

Cosmic Backgrounda probe of cosmology. Stringent limits can be set on the amplitude of fluctuations of the potential energy at the surface of last scattering of the CMB photons. Large angular scale (>1°) fluctuations in the gravitational potential energy are directly related to temperature anisotropies in the CMB by
