The mass scale used in Table 5-1 was derived on the assumption that the motion of the glowing trail is related to the momentum transfer to the trail by the meteorite, permitting the calculation of the mass if the velocity is known ( Cook and Whipple, 1958 ).

From 1896 until 1910 John H. Whipple was manager of Western Union at the Center in the drugstore he purchased from Clark Wait.

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.

When serving as assistant editor for the Northern Californian, Harte editorialized about the slayings while his boss, Stephen G. Whipple, was temporarily absent, leaving Harte in charge of the paper.

( In reality, Sam Whipple was battling cancer and died shortly after leaving the show.

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.

Cole of Whipple Barracks was the first scoutmaster.

The increased interest in census tracts for the 1930 Census is attributed to the promotional efforts of Howard Whipple Green, who was a statistician in Cleveland, Ohio, and later the chairman of the American Statistical Association ’ s Committee on Census Enumeration Areas.

It was a stage stop on the Phoenix to Prescott line, a military stopover en route to Fort Whipple and Fort Verde during Territorial days, and a supply center for mines in the southern Bradshaw Mountains.

In 1864 Prescott was designated as the capital of the Arizona Territory, replacing the temporary capital at Fort Whipple.

One who did was Colonel Joseph Whipple, who cut trails through the forests to build a " manor " house.

Commodore Abraham Whipple was given a grant to the town, along with 50-60 of his shipmates.

Episcopal Bishop Henry Benjamin Whipple had urged leniency in the case, but his position was not politically popular in Minnesota.

Shortly after Whipple predicted that dust particles travelled at low speeds relative to the comet, Milos Plavec was the first to offer the idea of a dust trail, when he calculated how meteroids, once freed from the comet, would drift mostly in front of or behind the comet after completing one orbit.

His grandmother Hopkins was a daughter of Providence settler John Whipple, sister of the wealthy Providence merchant, Joseph Whipple, and aunt to Deputy Governor Joseph Whipple, Jr. Stephen Hopkins ' great grandfather was Thomas Hopkins, who was baptized in Yeovilton, Somerset, England in 1616, the son of William and Joanne ( Arnold ) Hopkins.

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

These investigations and results of Whipple's gave Minot and Murphy the idea that an experiment could be made to see whether favorable results might also be obtained in the case of pernicious anemia ... by making use of the foods of the kind that Whipple had found to yield favorable results in his experiments regarding anemia from loss of blood.

Giotto provided the first evidence in support of Fred Whipple's " dirty snowball " hypothesis for comet construction ; Whipple postulated that comets are icy objects warmed by the Sun as they approach the inner Solar System, causing ices on their surfaces to sublimate ( change directly from a solid to a gas ), and jets of volatile material to burst outward, creating the coma.

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.

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.

However, she was discouraged from practicing surgery by Allen Whipple, the chair of surgery at CUCPS.

Originally known as a " meteor bumper " and now termed the Whipple shield, this consists of a thin foil film held a short distance away from the spacecraft's body.

The International Space Station ( ISS ) uses extensive Whipple shielding to protect itself from minor debris threats.

Whipple died at San Francisco General Hospital ; the cause of death was " loss of blood from multiple traumatic injuries ( dog bite wounds )."< sup >( pp. 10, 28 )</ sup >

His works from the 1950s and ' 60s are regarded as classics of popular science and include The Conquest of Space 1949 ( with Chesley Bonestell ), The Conquest of the Moon ( with Wernher von Braun and Fred Whipple, 1953 ), and Beyond the Solar System ( 1964 ).

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.

Fred Whipple in his The Mystery of Comets ( 1985, page 163 ) points out that Comet Encke's polar axis is only 5 degrees from its orbital plane: such an orientation is ideal to have presented a pinwheel like aspect to our ancestors when Encke was more active.

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 ).

Whipple discovered ingesting large amounts of liver seemed to cure anemia from blood loss, and tried liver ingestion as a treatment for pernicious anemia, reporting improvement there, also, in a paper in 1920.

Recollecting his path from mathematics to astronomy, Whipple stated in a 1978 autobiography that his " mathematics major veered through physics and finally focused on astronomy where time, space, mathematics, and physics had a common meeting ground.

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

* Working with John Adams Whipple, the Bonds pioneered astrophotography, taking the first daguerreotype image of a star ( Vega, in 1850 ) ever taken from America.
