Whipple, in collaboration with Fletcher Watson of the Harvard Observatory, led an effort to build an observatory to directly measure the velocity of the meteors that could be seen.

The Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory is an astronomical observatory owned and operated by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory ( SAO ) and is their largest field installation outside of their main site in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Formerly known as " The Mount Hopkins Observatory ," the observatory was renamed in late 1981 in honor of Fred Lawrence Whipple, noted planetary expert, space science pioneer, and director emeritus of SAO, under whose leadership the Arizona facility was established.

The observatory is known for its pioneering work in ground-based gamma-ray astronomy through the development of the Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Technique ( IACT ) with the Whipple 10-meter Telescope during the early 1980s.

The MMT Observatory ( MMTO ) is an astronomical observatory on the site of Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory ( IAU observatory code 696 ).

The Whipple observatory complex is located on Mount Hopkins, Arizona, USA ( 55 km south of Tucson ) in the Santa Rita Mountains.

On July 17, 1850, Vega became the first star ( other than the Sun ) to be photographed, when it was imaged by William Bond and John Adams Whipple at the Harvard College Observatory, also with a daguerreotype.

It also operates telescopes at two additional important observatories: Kitt Peak National Observatory ( KPNO ) and Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory on Mount Hopkins.

Wyatt and Whipple, 1950 ), which is a retardation of the orbital motion of particles by the relativistic aberration of the repulsive force of the impinging solar radiation, causes the dust to spiral into the sun in times much shorter than the age of the Earth.

Whipple ( 1955 ) extends the effects to include the solar-corpuscular-radiation pressure, which increases both the minimum particle size and the drag.

Whipple attended Phillips Academy and then Yale University from which he graduated with a B. A.

In presenting the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1934, Professor I. Holmgren of the Nobel committee observed that " Of the three prize winners, it was Whipple who first occupied himself with the investigations for which the prize is now awarded.

The spacecraft was derived from the GEOS research satellite built by British Aerospace, and modified with the addition of a dust shield as proposed by Fred Whipple which comprised a thin ( 1 mm ) aluminium sheet separated by a space and a thicker Kevlar sheet.

According to William Whipple Warren's History of the Ojibway People ( 19xx ), Moningwunakuaning " is the spot on which the Ojibway tribe first grew, and like a tree it has spread its branches in every direction, in the bands that now occupy the vast extent of the Ojibway earth ; and also that ' it is the root from which all the far scattered villages of the tribe have sprung.

This latter paper, which traces the history of the controversies to that point, and a series of three papers in 1981 by Beverly Whipple and colleagues in the Journal of Sex Research, became the focal point of the current debate.

Whipple became aware of the phenomenon when studying urinary incontinence, with which it is often confused.

Broun stated that “ the substance of any two Zane Grey books could be written upon the back of a postage stamp .” T. K. Whipple praised a typical Grey novel as a modern version of the ancient Beowulf saga, “ a battle of passions with one another and with the will, a struggle of love and hate, or remorse and revenge, of blood, lust, honor, friendship, anger, grief — all of a grand scale and all incalculable and mysterious .” But he goes on to criticize Grey ’ s writing, “ His style, for example, has the stiffness which comes from an imperfect mastery of the medium.

Ives, would in 1858 again return to the area after navigating a steamboat named the ' Explorer ' up the Colorado from south of Yuma northwards to Blacks Canyon at which point his party went ashore and attempted to go up into the Grand Canyon until the sheer cliffs prevented him from doing so, at which point he left the canyon and proceeded overland and someplace in the vicinity of the Grand Falls also known as the Chocolate falls on the Little Colorado, he picked up the Whipple trail from four years previously.

On June 13, 2011, the first book ever written about this US Army Post was published " Images of America-Fort Myer " which contains a newly found, first time published note from Abraham Lincoln which established the connection with General Whipple

The name USS Whipple has been borne by three ships in the United States Navy, which are listed below.

The first workable treatment for pernicious anemia began when Whipple made a discovery in the course of experiments in which he bled dogs to make them anemic, then fed them various foods to see which would make them recover most rapidly ( he was looking for treatments for anemia from bleeding, not pernicious anemia ).

He also invented a " meteor bumper " or " Whipple shield ", which protects spacecraft from impact by small particles by vaporizing them.

The school was founded on the property of the former Episcopalian Bishop Whipple School, which closed in 1887.

Allen Oldfather Whipple ( September 2, 1881 – April 6, 1963 ) was an American surgeon who is known for the pancreatic cancer operation which bears his name ( the Whipple procedure ) as well as Whipple's triad.
