That arrangement may help astronomy break through a size barrier that it reached in 1948, when technicians completed work on the famous 200-in. glass mirror for the Hale Telescope at Mount Palomar; beyond that size, glass mirrors tend to sag and distort un-acceptably, affected both by their own weight and by changes in temperature. The only larger mirror in the world, a 236-in. monolith atop Mount Semirodriki in the Soviet Union, is apparently hopelessly flawed and has done little significant work since being completed in 1974. One solution to the size problem is to make several smaller...

The program paired six teens with top scientists to learn how to write computer programs modeling complex systems. Hale's project focuses on the dynamics of how people get on and off airplanes. "Even though it's not going to, like, affect the future of the world, it's a really cool problem to think about because everyone's experienced it," she says. "It's the first time I realized science is applicable to everyday life. Even...
