Oral Histories in Meteoritics and Planetary Science – XX: Dale P
Oral Histories in Meteoritics and Planetary Science – XX: Dale P. Cruikshank by Derek W. G. Sears Planetary Science and Astrobiology Division NASA Ames Research Center, Mountain View California. SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION Recollections of Gerard Kuiper DS: Okay, so we have recorded your oral history, let’s spend some time recollecting your interactions with Gerard Kuiper. You described how you met him at Yerkes Observatory as an undergraduate and how you went to graduate school after he moved to the University of Arizona DC: Alan Binder and I applied to graduate school in Arizona and did our graduate training there. At about the same time, Bill Hartmann came to Tucson as a graduate student from Penn State, Elliott Moore and Tobias Owen also came as students from the University of Chicago. Several astronomers and atmospheric physicists also came to Tucson in those first years; Joseph Chamberlain, Donald Hunten, and Lloyd Wallace came to Arizona and joined the staff at the Kitt Peak National Observatory. The National Observatory had decided to locate in Tucson and build its observatory at Kitt Peak some 40 miles outside of town. By the time Kuiper got there Kitt Peak National Observatory was becoming quite a significant national establishment, and that provided a strong draw to the area. The Kitt Peak offices were located on the edge of the University of Arizona campus, just across the street from the University's Steward Observatory. When Kuiper left Yerkes several people involved in his lunar studies enterprise went with him, including David Arthur and Ewen Whitaker. Eventually Tom Gehrels, formerly associated with Kuiper at the University of Chicago, joined the group in Tucson.

The physical copybooks are restricted due to the fragile nature of the material. All use is directed to the microfilm of these volumes. The microfilm reels can be accessed by requesting them from Special Collections via the Library Catalog. Historical note The Lick Observatory was completed in 1888 and continues to be an active astronomy research facility at the summit of Mount Hamilton, near San Jose, California. It is named after James Lick (1796-1876), who left $700,000 in 1875 to purchase land and build a facility that would be home to "a powerful telescope, superior to and more powerful than any telescope yet made". The completion of the Great Lick Refractor in 1888 made the observatory home to the largest refracting telescope in the world for 9 years, until the completion of the 40-inch refractor at Yerkes Observatory in 1897. Since its founding in 1887, the Lick Observatory facility has provided on-site housing on Mount Hamilton for researchers, their families, and staff, making it the world's oldest residential observatory.

Moon Exhibit Catalog
Moon Exhibition Catalog July 20 - December 20, 2019 University of Arizona Libraries Special Collections Curated by Molly Stothert-Maurer, Archivist & History of Science Curator and Christopher Cokinos, Associate Professor of English Introduction It is always there, at least in our lives, the Moon, lit or dark, seen or not, a cold dead rocky globe of pits and rubble, of mountains and scars, our helpful companion in gravity and evolution, symbol, territory, night light during its days’ long lunar morning, silent siren for nocturnal predators, werewolves, lovers, geologists, for a time and perhaps again, perhaps for good, the astronauts, new lunar denizens. The Moon is visually sublime and scientifically compelling. It’s up there whether you live in the city or out in the country. With your own eyes, with binoculars, with a telescope, you can set sail for it. For stargazers and astronomers, the Moon is sometimes a bane bleaching out the fainter and far-flung gray-green galaxies and nebulae one might otherwise see in the eyepieces of backyard telescopes or on the computer screens of professional observatories. But we are rediscovering the Moon’s capacity to instill wonder, especially because it is not the barren place we once thought. Water ice exists on the Moon, water is locked up in its surface, and some researchers have suggested the early Moon had warm surface oceans in which microbial life might have evolved. At a time when we are looking back at the 1960s’ race to the Moon, we should also look ahead to what our scientific and even cultural future with the Moon might be.

FALL 2012 NEWSLETTER Vol.13, No.2
Planetary Science Institute FALL 2012 NEWSLETTER Vol.13, No.2 Curiosity Lands on Mars! by Frank C. Chuang, Alan Fischer, and Chris Holmberg At 10:30 p.m, Pacific time, August 5, 2012, the Mars Science Labo- 16.2 km ratory’s (MSL) rover Curiosity sent back signals confirming its safe landing on Mars. At that moment, carried live from Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) on NASA television, wild cheers and spontaneous hugging erupted in mission control. Unbeknownst to the general pub- lic, another celebration of the teams of scientists and engineers asso- ciated with the various scientific instruments onboard MSL was oc- curring at the same moment. This astounding technological achieve- ment for NASA was also a historic moment for planetary science. The landing meant that after years of designing, building, testing, and 5.5 km re-testing the science instruments, they would now be put to use studying the geology of Gale Crater on Mars. Soon MSL scientists will be studying the stacked layers of material making up the 5.5 kilometer high Aeolis Mons (Mount Sharp) within Gale Crater, yet on the way to the mountain, the sophisticated instruments on Curios- ity are already making exciting discoveries (see picture below). 230 m Several members of Planetary Science Institute (PSI) play major roles in the day-to-day science operations of instruments on MSL. (Continued on page 7) 125 m This magnificent image was taken in Gale Crater on Mars by the rover’s 100-millimeter Mast Camera and shows some major fea- tures on the way to the top of Mount Sharp, 16.2 kilometers (10 miles) away.
