GREENWICH TELESCOPE.—Watching the skies through this seven-ton 36-in telescope in the bomb-blasted Greenwich observatory is Dr. Alan Hunter, a British Admiralty astronomer. This photograph was taken during the recent total eclipse of the moon, but because of rain clouds Dr. Hunter was unable to see stars usually blotted out by the light of the moon. He will now have to wait at least another year.
