McElroy, a physicist at the Kitt Peak National Observatory in Arizona, served as a member of the NASA Lunar and Planetary missions board, for whom he produced studies of the atmospheres of Venus, Mars, and Jupiter...
...some timely aid: a newly developed telephone transmission device that can convert frequencies in the multibillion-hertz range into more easily detectable radio frequencies of about 100 million hertz. After adapting this device to the National Radio Astronomy Observatory's 36-ft. dish antenna at Arizona's Kitt Peak, the Bell scientists aimed the radio telescope at the distant Orion Nebula, a region of glowing gases more than 1,600 light-years away, a favorite target of molecule hunters...
...flashes corresponded exactly to the radio pulses from the Crab pulsar, strongly suggesting that the target was indeed the pulsar. Unlike an earlier and apparently erroneous sighting of a flashing pulsar (TIME, May 31), this discovery was confirmed by the McDonald Observatory in Texas and Arizona's Kitt Peak National Observatory...
...Cleaver, who is now a fugitive from justice. The crew of the US.S. Pueblo, Ho Chi Mmh, the Viet Cong guerrilla and the U.S. G,I. all received votes. Joe Namath, Charles de Gaulle, Bob Hope, Sirhan Sirhan, the non-hippie student, Richard Nixon, Alexander Dubcek, Abba Eban, Eartha Kitt, Lyndon Johnson-the list grows daily...
...more that astronomers learn about pulsars, the still-to-be-identified bodies that are sending strange beeping signals from the Milky Way, the more difficult to identify the pulsars become. Last week, at a Manhattan gathering of the growing group of pulsar specialists, scientists from the Kitt Peak National Observatory in Arizona and the Lick Observatory in California disclosed that Pulsar I not only sends out high-frequency radio signals every 1.3 seconds, but also gives off light flashes just about half as often. The conferees were beginning to ponder this new information when a tardy University of California astronomer...
