...turn-of-the-century astronomer who made a career of observing Mars. Since that putdown, scientists have learned to take comets more seriously-as primordial chunks of matter left over from the birth of the solar system 4.6 billion years ago. Thus Kohoutek, which was spotted first at the Hamburg Observatory last March, offers a splendid opportunity for observers to learn more about the drama of creation. Indeed, because the comet was discovered so long before its close approach to the sun, there has been time for elaborate preparation. Kohoutek may well be the most intensely scrutinized celestial object...
...minor bodies of the solar system since boyhood meteor-and comet-hunting expeditions in the Czechoslovak mountains, he had in the fall of 1971 located a cluster of about 50 small asteroids in an orbit roughly comparable to that of Biela's comet. Last February, using Hamburg Observatory's 32-in. Schmidt telescope, he tried to "recapture" the asteroids, which he feels may be the remaining chunks of the lost comet. To Kohoutek's surprise, he not only obtained pictures of the asteroids but also, during an eight-day period, discovered on his photographic plates the telltale...
Kohoutek is named for its discoverer, Lubes Kohoutek. The Czech astronomer spotted the comet last March, while observing at West Germany's Hamburg Observatory...
Just as important, of course, is Dahrendorf s spectacular career both in and out of education. After studying philosophy and classics at Hamburg, Dahrendorf obtained his doctorate in 1956 from the L.S.E. (where he also met his English wife Vera). He has since taught in Germany at the universities of Hamburg, Tubingen and Constance (a progressive institution he helped found in 1967), as well as at Harvard and Columbia...
