Could dynamic noncooperative game theorists such as Tamer Basar and Geert Jan Olsder, SIAM classic, ‘Dynamic Noncooperative Game Theory’ be correct in their use of pursuit-evasion games with cylindical trajectory space [chapter 8]?

I do believe that the spikes are doubled, so from the stars in the image one can see that the Spitzer telescope has 3 vanes.

Yes. Here’s a picture: http://www.spitzer.caltech.edu/technology/telescope.shtml

The vanes do not come from the side of the tube as in a normal earth-based instrument but are part of a stucture holding the secondary that is stuck to the middle of the main mirror.

With reflectors that’s usually the case, but I’ve seen pictures in which some twine/thread was used across the objective of a refractor to create “artificial” spikes.

Thanks! Cool, I googled for diffraction spikes and have learned something Do I understand that correctly that the number of spikes comes from the ’spider vanes’ of the secondary mirror? I actually quite like them.

Best,

If they have the resolution, and if I were them, I would look for warps and resonance patterns in the dust as indicators of what larger bodies might be hidden underneath. A dead planet is still a planet, and could teach us something useful about the end or our own solar system.
