...most exiting test of the Observatory's Sacramento Peak staff came during one of the granddaddies of all magnetic storms on February 10 and 11, 1958.

Almost before he could notify the World Data Center on Solar Activity at Boulder, Colorado, confirmation came from the Radio Astronomy Station at Ft. Davis. Bursts of static...
...break-through came when Dr. Priester of the Bonn Observatory called Jacchia's attention to the connection between solar radio wave data and the satellites' acceration. The very first hint Jacchia saw was that two peaks in an otherwise calm period occurred at the same time on both the satellite graph and the graph of 20 cm. solar radiation. With observations of 10.7 cm radiation transmitted daily from the National Research Council at Ottawa, Canada, he took a longer look, and found the amazing correspondence between solar emission and satellite acceleration reproduced above. This one-for-one relationship...
Africa teaches 'him what he wants. From Romilayu, his native Sancho Panza, he learns something of undeviating loyalty. Romilayu leads Henderson to the Arnewi, a sweet-spirited tribe which lives by the rule of kindness.
