Description:On 9 July 1965, Bertil Hoglund and Peter Mezger detected radio recombination lines. The detection, using the brand new 140 foot telescope - before its formal dedication in October 1965 - ushered in a whole new field of radio astronomy research. In this photo, taken 2.5 weeks later on 27 July 1965, Peter Mezger, Troy Henderson, Bertil Hoglund, and Neil Albaugh are in the 140 foot control room, perhaps considering other observations to undertake with NRAO's wonderful new instrument.

Description: On 9 July 1965 Peter Mezger and Bertil Höglund detected radio recombination lines using the 140 foot telescope. This photo from Jaap Baars shows Peter Mezger in red shirt, Bertil Höglund tying his shoes and Jaap Baars leaning against Peter's Chevy.Jaap says, "The picture was made in the summer of 1965 at the start of a hike from Durbin to the Cheat River Falls. I have always connected this picture with 'two tired scientists relaxing after their unambiguous detection of the hydrogen recombination line H109alpha with the new 140-ft telescope.'"Commenting on his own presence in the photo, Baars said, "As to the third 'tired scientist,' I was not involved in the recombination line work at all. So I assume that I was not tired." Thanks to Jaap Baars for the photo and caption information. Mezger's description of the discovery (no mention of the hike) may be read on page 5 of The Observer, v.10 #3, May 1970. [show more]
