Now wait a minute. Are you saying that Los Alamos is funding
astronomers? Maybe the particle physics is partially derived from
nuclear research, but the observations that the theory derives from?

As I recall, the microwave background radiation detection and calcs
came originally from Bell Labs, which did do AEC/DOE research (and
still does), but the scientists who worked on it (what's his name? I'm
so ashamed) came up with the measurement doing something entirely
unrelated to weapons research.
