Asked what he was going to call the two satellites of Jupiter he discovered fortnight ago, Astronomer Seth Barnes Nicholson replied: "It seems sure that both the new satellites go around Jupiter in reverse, so my daughter, Jean, insists one of them must be named Corrigan. . . . We'll see how my astronomical associates take to Jean's idea...
...Seth Barnes Nicholson, keen-eyed young graduate student at Lick Observatory, sighted Satellite IX. Last week the Carnegie Institution of Washington announced that Dr. Nicholson, still in California looking for new moons, had discovered dim, elusive Satellites X and XI with Mt. Wilson's 100-inch telescope.- "This discovery will rank as one of the great advances in astronomy of 1938," stated Director James Stohley of Philadelphia's Fels Planetarium. "There will be no hope of observing [the new satellites] except with the greatest telescopes...
Lately Dr. Anderson and his lean young coworker, Dr. Seth Neddermeyer, have been trying to trap barytrons near the end of their ranges-that is, as they slow up from exhaustion of energy after many collisions. The two physicists have a "cloud chamber" filled with argon, helium and alcohol vapor. A particle passing through knocks ions (electrified fragments) out of the gas atoms, and the vapor condenses on the ions, making a visible track which shows up as a white line in photographs. A device called a coincidence circuit snaps the picture when the particle passes through...
