Bentley College, a four-year business school in Waltham, will install solar heating for one-half of its residential campus this spring to alleviate high energy costs and to develop an awareness of alternative fuel sources among its students, a school official said yesterday...
...entire project will cost $520,000, but we estimate in a 40 year period we will save $1.7 million," Ellis said. The school has received a $150,000 grant for building costs from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), under the residential solar demonstration program...
...energy system, which will provide most of the hot water needs for two dormitories housing 720 students, will consist of 320 ground-mounted solar collectors, making it one of the largest in the country...
Whether or not this technological gambit succeeds, the $400 million project has already provided rich scientific dividends. Even before the drum-shaped spacecraft's first brush with the so-called bow shock region, where the Jovian magnetic field traps the solar wind, Voyager's sensitive instruments picked up a bewildering jet stream of frozen ammonia apparently traveling at 560 km (350 miles) per hour above the planet's clouds. Voyager also discovered a dazzling, doughnut-shaped cloud of electrically charged particles that formed displays similar to the earth's northern lights...
North America's last solar eclipse of the century (right) was obscured by a cold gray cloud cover along much of the path of totality. But eclipse buffs near Roundup, Mont, (left), and other viewing areas in the U.S. Northwest and Canada were luckier. Armed with telescopes, cameras and other paraphernalia, they let out joyful whoops under mostly clear skies as the moon's shadow raced toward northern Greenland. It was an all too brief show-as long as 2 min. 36 sec. in Helena, Mont., less than a minute elsewhere-and a rare one. It will...
