The Pultusk meteorite was certainly of interstellar origin, and judging from preliminary results of the Arizona meteor expedition, we may expect that at least several of the iron meteorites investigated by Paneth also do not belong to the solar system...
...last few years the Observatory has been conducting special investigations to discover more about these bodies which are the only tangible evidence we have of the nature of solar and stellar matter. At the direction of Dr. Harlow Shapley, Paine Professor of Astronomy and under the immediate supervision of Dr. Ernest J. Opik, Lecturer in Astrophysics, several Harvard men are working at the Lowell Observatory at Flagstaff, Arizona on meteors, and have attempted through the newspapers to secure all possible information about these celestial nomads...

...over his comforts. He will study at prim, red-roofed California Institute of Technology and the Mount Wilson Observatory for the next two months. Professor Willem de Sitter, another cosmologist, will study with him. Meanwhile in Washington met the American Astronomical Society for its annual interpretation of the heavens.
