and space and the governor of
all Icmg-range communications,
Hagen said.
•He !defined solar astronomy, a
large ;part of the research.l as that
branch of astronomy that deals
with observing the sun and inter
preting the outer envelope of the
sun through analysis. This study
gives] insight into the nature of
the interior of the sun arid, the
search for the processes of energy
fromlwithin the suri.
In the central regions of the sun,
energy change is made by con
version of matter to energy, as in
a nuclear, reactor, he explained.
On earth the conversion is one of
fusion similar to energy. created
in a; hydrogen bomb. The sun
creates tremendous heat by con
necting hydrogen to heavier ele-i

through the ionosphere and As
the signals reach the earth.
Chages in the galaxy. will also
be studied.
' "The galaxy act; as a radio
transmitter to receive signals'
passed through the ionosphere.
If this changes bonditions we can '
.detect it by signaling in diff e rent :
frequency levels."
The radio astronomy work will
expand in scope when the re
searchers start .making observa.;
tions of the moon and planets as •
well as other galaxiari radiation"
from distant stars, Hagen said.
. "RADIO ASTRONOMY is the
newest active field in astronomy,"
he explained. "Questions asked in
radio astronomy are directly re
lated to the space program. The:'
Connection leads to a better under-'
standing of the solar'system as tr
whole as well as the ionosphere.",
