Six months at Lick Observatory, California, visit from father, children, 3210 mile drive to new job at Yale, a Cambridge summer.
“I got here in one piece, and my car likewise! Just six days after I left Santa Cruz, but I spent a full day and two nights with friends in Chicago. I sent you a card from some place in the boondocks which I hope you got. It was three thousand, two hundred and ten miles, and about sixty-five hours on the road including stops for eating etcetera. I am rather stiff, and sunburnt on one arm – otherwise O.K. Fascinating country! I wasn’t bored at all.”
Arp 82 is an interacting pair of galaxies with a strong bridge and a long tail. For some reason, the pair didn't make their stars early on as is typical of most galaxies. Instead, they got a second wind later in life – about 2 billion years ago – and started pumping out waves of new stars as if they were young again. www.nasaimages.org
