...Cornell team, headed by Astronomer James Elliot, made its observation last month while flying in a specially equipped C-141 "airborne observatory" through the night sky southwest of Australia. The astronomers had aimed the aircraft's 90-cm. (36-in.) telescope at Uranus, which was passing in front of a distant star in the constellation Libra. By recording variations in light from the star just before and after it was eclipsed by Uranus, they hoped to measure the diameter and study the atmosphere of the planet -which at a distance of 2.8 billion km. (1.7 billion miles) from...
...plane and cannot be seen by terrestrial telescopes-lie in a 7,000-km.-wide (4,400-mile) belt. Four of the flattened rings are about 10 km. (6 miles) across, while the outermost one is 100 km. (60 miles) wide. What the rings consist of is uncertain. Says Elliot: "One theory about Saturn's rings is that they are made out of snowballs, so one good guess about Uranus' rings would be that they are also some type...

Even now, his former Senate staff people move easily through Washington's marbled halls. Elliot Richardson '43, Jonathan Moore, a Richardson aide and director of the Kennedy Institute of Politics, Tom Winship, editor of The Boston Globe, former Rep. F. Bradford Morse, State Senator William Saltonstall (his son), and the repentant Chuck Colson all worked for Salty in the Senate...
Columbia's 5 ft. 8 in. sophomore guard already has 69 assists after seven games, and is well on the way to eclipsing the Lion assist record of 140 set by Elliot Wolfe. In the Lions' first five games of the season he had 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, and 9 assists in that order...
