Scientists Studying Cornograph Photos WASHINGTON (UPI) — Scientists are studying pictures taken of the sky with a "flying coronograph" in the hope of finding new information on the effects •dust and other particles in the atmosphere have on weather. The pictures were taken Aug. 7 during a nine-hour balloon flight from the stratobowl near Rapid City, S.D. For the first time in history a coronograph —a telescope with an "occulting disc” which blots out the sun—was carried aloft to photograph the sky. The flight was part of the strato-lab program of balloon research being conducted by the Office of Naval Research. A strato-lab balloon crew in midOctober will attempt to determine whether water vapor exists in the atmosphere of the planet Venus. The coronograph used in the Aug. 7 flight, was developed by Dr. Gordon Newkirk of the high altitude observatory of the University of Colorado. It was carried to 38,000 feet in an open basket balloon manned by Robert Cooper of the observatory and Cmdr. Malcolm D. Ross, described by the Navy as "the world’s most experienced balloonist.” Newkirk told reporters Monday that the flight proved the feasibility of photographing “the solar aureole,” the bright sky around the sun made visible by creating an artificial eclipse, from the vantage of the upper atmosphere. Within a year ONR and the high .altitude ohsarvatory hope to photograph thirjwnsl "corenft ‘ out to a distance of a million to two millin miles from an altitude of 100,000 set. The Aug. 7 flight was too low for photography of the corona, the glowing sheath of hot gas around | the sun, because it is less bright I than the sky as seen from such altitudes. This sky brightness is due to sunlight scattered by pollen, dust, and ice particles in the lower level of the atmosphere called the troposphere. IJewkirk found the sky in the pictures taken Aug. 7 to be five times Dright as it I would be if there were noatmo-I • spheric contamination. The troposphere is the region of | the atmosphere where all weather events occur. In the relatively dust-free region of the higher atmosphere, the stratosphere, the sky is much less bright. The flying coronograph provides a new tool not only for closer Study of the sun itself but also for getting additional information on the distribution of particles in the troposphere.
