Dr. Carruthers will look at
recent developments allowing for
better observation including
interplanetary missions such as
Voyager and future space missions
currently in the planning stages.
Dr. Carruthers' visit is part of
the Harlow Shapley Visiting
Lectureships in Astronomy, a
national program which allows
professional astronomers to visit a
wide variety of colleges and
universities. Harlow Shapley was
President of the American
Astronomical Society from 1943
to 1946. His research proved that
our sum was not the center of our
Milky Way system.
The strides taken in the 50 years
since Shapley's presidency are

Carruthers, for instance, obtained
the first detection of interstellar
molecular hydrogen through a
sounding rocket experiment in
1970. Hew was the principal
