...baffling but unequivocally vulgar--like kitsch from another planet, or a collaboration between Claes Oldenburg and Cher. Powell's arch, with its oversize keystones, is a frolicking postmodernist fancy, circa 1980. Jahn has used the tensile imagery of naval architecture (masts, rigging, an upturned hull) to produce a fine object, jaunty but tough--a structure considerably more appealing, in fact, than his skyscrapers...
Despite the obvious devastation of the explosion, searchers began finding surprisingly large parts of the wreckage, the biggest being a 25-ft.- long section of the spacecraft's fuselage. Parts of the shuttle's wings, cabin and cargo-bay door were tentatively identified. Sonar detected a large metal object 140 ft. below the surface, and deep-diving submersibles went down to inspect it. There was speculation that the object might be Challenger's main cabin, although a more likely possibility was that it was one of Challenger's three main engines, which could have fallen in a cluster. But Coast...
...fact, some astronomers have long suspected that it was a catastrophic event, perhaps a collision with an earth-size object, that toppled Uranus on its side (see chart); it spins with its rotational axis practically perpendicular to those of most of the other planets. The spacecraft raised even more questions about Uranus when it discovered that the planet has a magnetic field about as strong as earth's but topsy-turvy by terrestrial standards, with the north magnetic pole displaced by 55 degrees from the south geographic pole. The odd arrangement led scientists to speculate that Voyager had caught...
...want to identify preservation as a major object for developers in Harvard Square...and develop regulation flexible enough to encourage good design," said Lester Barber, director of community planning. "We want to communicate with groups in Harvard Square to review development...
Following four years of research, Jeffrey E. McClintock of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and MIT's Ronald A. Remillard told a meeting of the American Astronomical Society that they had identified a dark, massive object in the Constellation Monoceros as a probable black hole...
