Various views of the Orion Nebula, shown above, allow astronomers to move through different views at various wavelengths. The European Southern Observatory's MUSE spectrograph on the Very Large Telescope in Chile allows for three-dimensional images of the objects it studies. "This seven-ton collection of optics, mechanics, and electronics is now a fantastic time machine for probing the early universe." "It has taken a lot of work by many people over many years," principle investigator Roland Bacon of the Lyon Astrophysics Research Center (CRAL) in France said in a statement. Installed on the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile, MUSE can both study and image the depths of space. Bacon)Īfter a decade of design and development, the tool - called the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) - successfully captured its first images of deep space to create 3D views of the early universe. The MUSE instrument, which went online in March 2014, splits the light from each part of the galaxy into component colors to show the chemical and physical properties of each point. “It will be the special collections equivalent of a stampede at a rock concert,” Linke said.This color composite of the unusual polar ring galaxy NGC 4650A was created from data from the MUSE instrument on ESO's Very Large Telescope in Chile. He says scholars from around the world will be traveling to Princeton in the first days the letters are available since they are copyrighted and won’t be made available online. He said there was very minimal, if any, reading. Daniel Linke, interim head of special collections at the library, was part of the team working on the 14 boxes. The unsealed boxes, which also contain photographs, clippings and other ephemera, were actually opened at the library’s special collections area called Firestone Library in October for cataloging and digitizing. “I have a feeling that having a relationship with an American woman helped him to uncover his past in a way.” “He was really thinking more about the United States and his childhood during the period where he was in correspondence with Hale,” said Dickey. Whatever else she was, Hale was a link to the life Eliot left behind in the United States as a young man, Dickey said. “What role did she play in his emotional life?”Įliot’s letters to Hale began after that first marriage ended. “Was this an epistolary romance they would carry across the Atlantic?” Dickey said. Dickey said the letters could reveal just how close he and Hale were and if the two ever considered marriage. Eliot,” said the poet was deeply ashamed of his marriage to his first wife, Vivienne Haigh-Wood, whom he was with for more than 15 years. The letters could also reveal details about Eliot’s conversion to Anglicanism, something he deeply cherished, Dickey says.ĭickey, who served as one of the editors on “The Complete Prose of T.S. “His relationship with her seems to be deep and meaningful,” she said, “and it’s a door he chose not to open.” The poem is named after a home in England that Eliot visited with Hale in 1934. The first poem in the “Quartets” series, called “Burnt Norton,” piques the interest of enthusiasts of the poet, says Eliot scholar Frances Dickey, because of lines that suggest missed opportunities and what might have been with his muse. His best-known works include “The Waste Land,” “The Hollow Men” and “Four Quartets.” Alfred Prufrock” became his first professionally published poem. Louis in 1888 and gained notoriety as a poet early in life. Their relationship “must have been incredibly important and their correspondence must have been remarkably intimate for him to be so concerned about the publication,” Cuda says.
