With its 60 foot paraboloid antenna and intricate electronic recording equipment, the telescope will serve to more accurately map the most distant sections of our galaxy. In a symposium at the Observatory, various scientists will discuss some of the recent achievements in radio astronomy and speculate on what may be uncovered by the new equipment...
...Arnold, thought he was about to be bawled out for an argument with a senior general, instead was told: "What I need is someone to help me do my thinking. That's your job now." With that mandate Norstad became the Air Forces' hottest young planner, helped map the air-war plan that placed emphasis first on the European theater, then on the Pacific. He was air-operations officer for the Twelfth Air Force under Jimmy Doolittle in the North African campaign. Of his service in North Africa, General Dwight Eisenhower later wrote: "[He] so impressed me with...
...worth of long-range radars for 15 major Canadian airports from Moncton, N.B. to Vancouver. When the system is in operation in 1958, it will keep the headlong jets from 1) treading on each other's heels, 2) overrunning the slower, propeller-driven craft (see map...
...from Antarctica, the flying explorers found a great sloping trough 200 to 300 miles wide between a high mountain range west of the Ross Ice Shelf and a dome of ice. The trough leads south from the coast, and its high inland end may reach the South Pole (see map). During the Antarctic winter, says Dr. Siple, the high interior of Antarctica becomes extremely cold. Its heavy, cold air flows down the sloping trough like water running down a flume. A little of it spills through gaps in the mountains, but most of it goes...
...test this theory, Dr. Miyake and his colleagues studied the world's weather maps. The wind pattern looked encouraging for the theory. On the day the radioactive material rose above the Nevada desert, there was a powerful wind waiting aloft to carry it eastward. The most probable route would take the atmospheric tracer across the U.S., the Atlantic, Europe, Central Asia and China. It should travel about 1,000 miles a day and should reach Japan in about the right time: two weeks (see map...
