...spectrometer's second mode-of operation was not tested during the Sept. 6 flight. In this mode the 40 lb. gold-plated box that holds the electronic equipment will scan up-and-down and across the solar disc in order to pick up an entire image of the sun at these short wave-lengths. Scientists expect that these ultraviolet "pictures" of the sun will help them better understand chromospheric solar flares...
...time to snow your girl," Mary--who cavorts in the zoo, and I Like Sex--the "National Game." All are sung with sparkle and life, with the lyrics competing with the music for attention. No Dunce concert (or record) would be complete without Secret Love, and on this disc the group relates the story [of the sponsored prostitute] with liquid harmony and emotion...
...hymn. The exercise shows to advantage the range of voices in the group, their versatility, and their style. Most Dunce songs are a parody of some music form, but few do it as well as this one. Cool Mover, a rock in roll parody that might fool a WMEX disc jockey is not new, but makes a fine addition to this collection...
...time. On a map of the moon some five feet in diameter, this area is about the size of a postage stamp. As the pyrometer scans the moon from side to side and from top to bottom, the record of intensity maps the distribution of temperature over the whole disc of the moon...
...flare is accompanied by a burst of ultraviolet radiation, and the Harvard instrument can record this radiation in two ways. First, it can concentrate on a small spot in the center of the solar disc and record, in about 27 minutes, the intensity of radiation over the whole ultraviolet spectrum. During its other "mode" of operation, the eye of the spectrometer will scan the whole disk of the sun, back and forth, bottom to top, recording at just one wavelength. Each complete scan will take about four and one-half minutes and will provide a crude ultraviolet picture...
