...script beneath the pictures reads like one of John Lennon's semiliterate Joycean pastiches. Flabby punjabs pass for wit ("Are you bluish?

They also determined the angular size of the radiating object itself, and concluded that the X-ray source would probably appear as a bluish, starlike object of the 13th magnitude (visible with a 6-in. telescope...
