...Harvard astronomers, Dr. D. H. Menzel and L. H. Aller '39, reported to the American Astronomical Society last week that star "shells" are made of the same elements as stars themselves. They found that the planetary nebulae, which are great clouds of gas surrounding the very hot O-type stars, are composed chiefly of hydrogen, helium, carbon nitrogen, and oxygen...
...Department is preparing, in addition, a series of courses closely connected with the war. Beginning in the second half of the Summer term, Professor Donald H. Menzel will offer a course in Astrophysics and next fall Associate Professor Bart Bok will teach Statistics...
Working independently for the American Committee for Democracy and Intellectual Freedom, Harlow Shapley, Paine Professor of Practical Astronomy and Director of the College Observatory, and Donald H. Menzel, associate professor of Astronomy, have furnished material for an open letter to the Board of Education of New York City warning against violations of intellectual freedom in the New York School situation...
Professors Shapley and Menzel along with Professor Ernest M. Patterson of the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, made separate analyses of the Ackley trial, the first of the Education Board's trials in City College cases...
Verification seemed near last week. Harvard Observatory's Donald Howard Menzel amplified Edlen's theory with data from his Siberian eclipse expedition in 1936 and from Harvard's coronagraph observatory at Climax, Colo. Inside the sun, atoms are so highly ionized-having most of their electrons wrenched away from their nuclei-that they are not matter as we know it but rather invisible, sub atomic debris. These hot, degenerate gases are expanded, Menzel believes, by the force of great whirlpools within the sun. Therefore, streaming out of the sun's interior in occasional eruptions, the gases...
