Scientists remains unsure about the exact nature of the find because it was made with an infrared satellite, which uses non-visual detectors to search for sources of radiation that are relatively cool, in comparison to the hot, gaseous stars that comprise the majority of know celestial objects...
Despite the lack of a visual siting, however, the detection has gained unusual attention because it represents the first positive astronomical measurement of solid material in deep space larger than dust grains or gas partices, which are unable to sustain the type of orbital activity now suspected around Vega...
...There's a large list of eminent astronomers who are now kicking themselves because they had the information and never followed up," said Beichman, who explained that while Vega is a star commonly used by astronomers as a sort of "space lighthouse" for calibrating visual instruments, data from countless other stars--about 250,000 in JPL's computers alone--has been gathered for various purposes other than the type of infrared examination that led to the latest find...
...space shuttle will also be lofting, sometime by 1987, what some experts believe will be the first sure chance at making a visual confirmation of the existence of planets elsewhere in the universe--a large Space Telescope, which will be able to detect objects now invisible to astronomers on the ground because of the disruption caused by the earth's atmosphere...
...second-act slump that lasts about three hours. But the best and the most of Berlin is the best that Fassbinder-or just about anyone else lately-has done. He balances the weight of Döblin's carefully repetitious dialogue with the buoyancy of his creamy, elegiac visual style. He interrupts the naturalism of lives on the skids with scenes of shocking surrealism: an old goat-man slaughters a calf; Mieze's corpse turns to soft-focus glitter, as if she had become in death a Hollywood star; a scorpion clambers up the entwined legs...
