Discovery of Su Report on Tiny, By the Assoclated Press. | CAMBRIDGE, Mass., October 19.— | Astronomical phenomena, ranging from a tiny, half-breed object that looks like an asteroid and travels like a comet to a revised and shortened conception of the age of the universe, found a place tonight in Dr. Harlow | Shapley’s astronomical high lights of 1935. The celebrated director of Harvard's observatory summed up the year’s ce- lestial accomplishments at the annual | dinner of the American Association of Variable Star Observers. ! At least one of the high lights hada terrestrial importance—the discovery (reported by J. H. Dellinger of the United States Bureau of Standards at Washington) that temporary complete D.

Here are some of his other high lghts: Discovery at the University of Min- nesota of an eleventh magnitude star (far below range of visual observation) nearly 10,000 times less luminous than the sun, which may be not more than 10 light years away and consequently one of the sun’s half dozen nearest neighbors.

Calculations completed during the year which favored a shorter time scale for the life history of the uni- verse and indicated that the universe came into existence only a matter of & few thousand million years ago, as opposed to earlier calculations which indicated its origin might be a thou- sand times more remote. “Before-that,” added Shapley, “there was nothing, or unformed star stuff, or the primeval all-inclusive atom, or just question marks. “All agree that legitimate astronom- ical interpretation cannot wisely go back of the time when T (time) equals T minus zero.” Airbase Contract Let.
