More than a billion miles away, just beyond Saturn's orbit, the lump of icy debris is only dimly lighted by the sun and distant stars. Even the big Palomar mirror could not have found it without a highly sensitive silicon-chip light detector called a charge-coupled device (CCD), used in place of a photographic plate.

Said Riccardo Musatti, Olivetti's director of advertising until his death in 1965: "The corporate image ... should not be a distorting mirror or a come-on symbol, but the total expression of a complex reality...
