Whoever builds it, High Mountain Sheep Dam will ultimately provide at least 2,000,000 kw. for a six-state region whose power needs are growing at the rate of 15% a year...

Schmidt remembered Astronomer Beverley Oke had already studied the spectrum with an electronic gadget sensitive to invisible infrared. Oke had found a prominent line precisely where Schmidt thought that H-alpha should be, shifted into the infrared. 3C 273 was moving faster than seemed possible...
