After connecting the bolometer to the 5-ft. infra-red telescope at the University of Arizona's Catalina observatory near Tucson, Low made careful measurements of R Mon's total energy output over a wide range of wave lengths. He found that the energy produced was much greater than earlier observations had indicated (about 870 times that of the sun), and the star was radiating with inexplicable intensity at the longest wave lengths. On the theory that something was obscuring the visible light, Low asked Smith to help work out a mathematical model of a bright...

This year, they will see all three of the major outer islands...
