While the editor has no objection to this project, it might be well for the engineers to explain {iyst how the mirrors could be set up in the space observ- atory. The engineers say that the two mirrors at the Mount Wilson Observatory are virtually useless now because ot the-night glare of nearby Los Angeles, which fogs photo- graphic plates. They also reject the idea of setting up he mirrors on the moon, in a new observatory there, say- ing that sky fog would be.a handicap to such a moon ob- servatory. Because sky fog is caused by ' zodiacal light, théée is no way of eliminating it other than locating a tele- scope as far out into space as Jupiter. “Because this is impractical, «the engineers propose Liiilding the space observatory about 23,000 miles out from the earth, They have even solved the problem of ‘Keeping the mirrors from breaking en route by suggesting that they be encased in silicon putty, which is used to protect instruments and cameras sent aloft in rockets ‘fired from White Sands, New Mexico. : mAs-far as the editor is concerned, the engineers have ‘presented a convincing case and have. this newspaper's fapproval to begin their outward journey at the soonest ‘opportune moment. Never laugh at jukes when there is no point. Some movies these days are the best, motivation for elevision expansion we know.
