to radio noises from space: I'VE
want to find out more about the
universe"
Institution Like College
DR.. Franklin says, THE Carne-
gle Institution is like college
faculty with very few students.
The main task of the institution
is research but a few graduate
scientists are doing advanced
work. DR.. Franklin is on fell
lowship. The institution operates
on ar endowment from the late
Andrew Carnegie. Findings of
the institution are freely publish
ed in scientific journals.
The radio astronomy branch is
only part of the Terrestrial Mag
natism Department, which in turn
is but one of the institutions
main divisions. Among other
scientific facilities, the Carnegie
Institution operates the huge Mt.
Wilson telescope in California.
Until recently DR.. Vannevar Bush,
one of the fathers" of the atom
&c bomb, was Carnegie Institution
president.
In addition to DR.. Burke and
DR.. Franklin, DR.. H. w. Wells,
DR.. John w. Firor, DR.. Howard
Tatel, and department director
DR.. M. A. Tuve are working on
various aspects of radio astron-
omy at Derwood and Seneca. All
the scientists live in the County.
The group of low buildings and
futuriStic antennae at DerWood
were established in 1916, origin
ally to study the ionosphere from
radio signals. Before moving to
Derwood the research station had
been in Kensington. The Mills
Cross in Seneca was constructed
about three years ago.
Not every minute of a Carnegie
Institution scientists life is fill
ed with eye-squinting, head
scratching meditation on the
eternal secrets of the universe.
For instance, one day DR.. Burke
turned on sensitive radio re-
ceiver to illustrate point to DR..
Franklin. Instead of weird crack
lings from space, out came the
weird cracklings of a hot jazz
band

HugeAntenna
Hears Static
From, Jupiter

The first radio signals ever re
ceived from another planet were
picked up by radio astronomers
of the Carnegie Institution at
Seneca in the summer of 1854.
The bursts of static from Jupi-
ter were picked up by one of
the worlds largest antennae, or
radio telescopes, in the 96-acre
Seneca field of Brockett Muir.
The Seneca antenna and trail
er-full of recording instruments
belong to the Institutions radio
astronomy headquarters in Der
wood. Among the other discov-
cries made by County astronom-
ers with their sensitive radio re-
ceivers and aimable antennae
have been: "a half a million
years ago two multi-billion star
galaxies collided head on while
travelling through space at thous-
ands of miles per second; ~ Our
universe is about 200 parsecs
(parsec equals 20 trillion miles,
from the center of the watch
spring shaped Milky Way; 90
radio signals emit continuously,
not just occasionally, from the
sun; and "a the corona, or lum-
inescent "ring-around-the-sun" is
five times the size at which it had
been previously estimated.
From the public's point of view,
though, the most exciting discov-
cry was the revelation of radio
signals received from Jupiter.
Though one large newspaper call.
ed the discovery by DR.. Bernard
F. Burke and DR.. Kenneth l..
Franklin possibly "a major addi-
ton to the sum total of mans
knowledge of his universe" the
doctors have asked for no "sen.
sational publicity"
Signals From Being?
First thought that snaps into
the mind of the astronomy-ignor-
ant layman is, "The signals were
sent by intelligent beings" DR..
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1956-01-26

Burke and DR.. Franklin scott,
Jupiter is a pretty hostile place. Z"
Jupiter, four times as far from
the Sun as our Earth, is cold
planet"
The temperature at the top Of
the cloud layer which surrounds
the planet is estimated at 200 de-
grees below zero. The atmosphere
is composed of hydrogen, helium,
methane, and amonia, the last
two elements toxic to man.
Other, more likely, theories of
the signals have been discussed
Science writer Thomas r. Henry
discounts the suggestion that the
radio disturbances may have been
generated by thunder and light
ming storms on Jupiter.
This hypothesis probably
must be abandoned. Lightning
flashes never last more than a
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1956-01-26

I antennae, including some that
look like giant bed-springs, aim
sky-Ward.
One radio astronomer exclusive
ly studies signals from the sun
including the pesky "sun spots.
He uses the frequency of televi-
sion channel II to '1isten" to the
suns radiations because no sta
ton operates on that channel in
this area.
Research on coSmic rays and
the ionosphere (the outer layer
of the earth's atmospheric also
is conducted at DerWood.
Pride and joy of the radio as
tronomers, however, is the giant
Mills Cross antenna at Seneca
through which Jupiter was first
"heard" The antenna must be a
disappointment to the constant
stream of sight-seers. 1t looks
nothing like the trusty old tele-
vision rabbit ears"
Named for Australian
The Mills Cross, named for
Australia's DR.. B. Y. Mills, who,
with England's Martin Ryle, de-
veloped the new-type antenna,
consists of two double columns
of wooden poles implanted in
the ground in the form of a giant
cross. Each line of Ga poles is
2,040 feet long. A simple two
wire antenna is strung from pole
to pole and feeds into the sensi-
tive receiver in the middle of the
cross.
The Mills Cross is a high res
olution antenna, meaning it picks
up radio signals only from the
two-degree arc of sky directly
above the field. The Seneca lay
out was the largest Mills Cross
in the world until scientists in
DR.. Mills native Australia got
busy and built bigger one.
The giant antenna is used to
pick up signals from the three
major sources of celestial radio
waves: ID the sun; (2) so call
ed radio stars, which may not be
stars at all, but some of which
are too far from Earth to be seen
even with powerful telescopes;
90 and supernova, or the rem
nants of exploding stars.
The Carnegie Institution radio
astronomers explain very simply
the purpose of their listening"
