New Theory Advances On Crater Explosion
At the 82nd annual meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Tucson Dr. H. H. Nininger proposed a double explosion for the Barringer Meteor Crater cause. He says a large meteorite mass shattered upon limestone contact and then exploded in the depths, leaving small fragments nearby and larger pieces farther away. The crater near Winslow is 600 feet deep and about a mile across.

Spinning Football Gives Astronomers Clue To One Mystery
The 82nd meeting of the American Astronomical Society heard Dr. Jesse L. Greenstein and Prof. Leverett Davis, Jr. propose spinning elongated iron dust in a magnetic field explains starlight polarization, supporting a space magnetic field theory. California researchers note interstellar dust collisions challenge permanent alignment, while Mount Hamilton observations compare real and artificial stars to measure light. Keenan of Perkins Observatory notes possible chemical differences between red star groups, implying diverse histories for type S and type M stars.
