...Little G. '19, A. M. '20, professor of Physics at Bowdoin College, will study at Tubingen, Germany, with his object the determination of thermomagnetic properties of gaseous molecules...
...upon the electrical conditions of the earth's atmosphere in relation to radio receptivity and weather changes, the Astronomical Laboratory is cooperating with the Naval Observatory, the Mount Wilson Observatory in California, and the Yerkes Observatory of the University of Chicago. The phenomena known as sun-spots, or violent gaseous convulsions on the surface of the sun, have been proved to affect radio transmission, seasonal changes, and to be a direct cause of the Aurora Borealis, or northern lights...
...seconds, the sun was totally obscured by the black disc of the moon. When the sun is in this condition, its pearl-white corona is visible, with vivid scarlet flames streaming from it. The corona was once thought to be only reflected sunlight, but modern observers know it has gaseous structure; contains an unknown element which gives a green ray in the spectroscope. This element is called "coronium" for convenience...
Comet. This was the man and these were the words which came as unheralded as though a comet had struck Manhattan and dissipated far and wide its gaseous tail. Where does the four-month Kerensky regime fit into the 'ten years elapsed since Nicholas II signed his abdication on March 15, 1917? Significant years...
...mathematics multiplied the distance of the heavens into infinity and the stars receded from the imagination of men into the dusty records of the Observatory. Spiral nebulae and the gaseous composition of a certain sun of the third magnitude have ceased to be news, not only to the general public but to the college which supports one of the finest observatories in the world. Monthly reports on the progress of man's knowledge of the universe promptly arrive on the city editor's desk and as promptly find their way to the waste- basket. The strange, the almost miraculous, certainly...
