    Title: 
    Corbitt, Whipple & Udall at Mt. Hopkins Observatory
    Date: 
    1968
    Author/Creator: 
    Unknown
    Contained In: 
    Smithsonian Institution Archives Record Unit 371, Box 2, Folder: May 1974
    Summary: 
    (Left to right) Tucson mayor James Corbitt, Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory Director Dr. Fred Whipple (1955-1973) and Rep. Morris K. Udall (D-AZ) stand in front of a 34-foot gamma-ray collector at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, Mt. Hopkins, Arizona, October 23, 1968. The large surface light collector, really a mosaic of 252 polished glass mirrors, searches for sources of gamma-ray radiation in the heavens, a feat never attempted before from a ground-based observatory.
    Notes: 
    Of a series featured in TORCH, May 1974 (in TORCH May 1974 folder, but not the newspaper). See also TORCH, August, 1968. For an amusing story about the gamma-ray collector, see TORCH, May 1974
