...powerful source of ultraviolet radiation, which is in the part of the light spectrum that gives astronomers important clues to the nature of certain stars and galaxies. And if a city's street lamps and billboards give off light characteristic of a star, explains Astronomer Halton Arp, hours of patient photographic work can be ruined...
Noel Hare and Bob Galliers will go after the top two spots in the broad jump. But the Tigers' Jim Reilly and Gene Halton are likely to whitewash their Crimson counterparts in the high jump...
...discovered a new quasar that is apparently farther, brighter and more enigmatic than any other yet found. Designated 0237-23, it was first detected and pinpointed by Astronomer John Bolton with the 210-ft. radio telescope at the Parkes Observatory in Australia. Using coordinates supplied by Bolton, California Astronomers Halton Arp and Thomas D. Kinman zeroed in on the quasar with the 200-in. optical telescope at Mount Palomar and the 120-in. Lick Observatory telescope...
...much of the scientific community accepts Astronomer Maarten Schmidt's contention that the faint stars called quasars are the most distant objects ever observed (TIME cover, March 11). But challengers remain, and they have by no means given up. Schmidt's colleague, Halton Arp of the Mount Wilson and Palomar observatories, for example, believes that quasars were ejected from odd-looking galaxies that are, by cosmological standards, virtual neighbors to the earth...
