...break off from the mass as it approaches the sun. Over seven decades at Harvard University and the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, Whipple also discovered that the source of meteors is not far-flung stars but Earth's solar system. Anticipating space flight, he invented in 1946 a thin outer skin of metal known as a meteor bumper, or Whipple shield, to protect spacecraft from high-speed particles. The device is still in use today...

Now it's looked at as slutty if your jeans are really low." So what's on the 16-year-old's fall shopping list? She's on the lookout for Polo shirts (which she'll wear...
