In Washington last week, Navy scientists reported that a high-flying Aerobee rocket had detected strong X-ray sources associated with distant galaxies. And NASA officials are preparing for the launching later this month of an orbiting observatory equipped with telescopes for the continuous...

But astronomers were slow to recognize that such radio energy-the only radiation besides visible light that can penetrate the earth's atmosphere over a wide frequency range-might offer a powerful new tool for exploring the universe. Little was done to take advantage of the new tool until wartime radar research provided accurate directional antennas and improved electronic techniques...
