Most interesting find was a decorated vase, probably imported from Greece in the 7th century B.C.

Working at Lowell Observatory, Flagstaff, Ariz., Dr. Tombaugh used some fancy apparatus: a Schmidt telescopic camera so sensitive that it could photograph a tennis ball, half-lit by the sun, 1,000 miles away, or a V-2 rocket at the distance of the moon. It covered a 13° field, 26 times the apparent diameter of the full moon, and a complicated driving mechanism swung it across the sky, fast for nearby satellites, slower for satellites farther away. On its plates the stars showed as streaks. A satellite, if one had been found, would have shown...

Radars had proved fine weather-observing tools, showing up rain or snow 300 miles away. Rockets could photograph from above hundreds of thousands of square miles of weather, even entire hurricanes. Weather ships were stationed at sea; weather airplanes were flying into hurricanes...
