Kitt Peak Group Returns From Andes Zodiacal Light Study
A Kitt Peak National Observatory team led by Dr. R. Wolstencroft returned from Bolivia where zodiacal light was measured from Chacaltaya at 17,634 feet. Next month a White Sands rocket will carry instruments to 75 miles to study dust in five colors, with payload built by Ball Brothers Research Corp. and a total cost near $270,000.
