And last week, a team led by Harvard astronomers announced they had seen such shrapnel. What the team observed was a stellar explosion, called a supernova, that was caused by the merger and collision of two white dwarf stars—the shriveled-up remnants of burnt-out stars. Typically, these gigantic explosions are thought to involve only one white dwarf, and astronomers have inferred from previous studies of white dwarf supernovae that...

Following a year in which he played in 32 games and scored a team-leading 14 goals, Meintel is eager to fulfill the high expectations set by last year’s stellar offensive performance.

Hewlett, the last man in the Crimson secondary without an interception, made his mark by collecting three on Saturday, the first time since 1967 a Harvard player has had three in a game.“The most interceptions I had in high school...
