Scientific paper

Astronomical news stories have always sold weil, but the way of presenting celestial phenomena to the public has changed somewhat during the centuries, from broadsheets to present-day popular journals. Drs. Philippe Veron and Gustav Tammann, at the ESO Scientific Group in Geneva, and both weil known for their important work on extragalactic objects, have recently studied a large number of old texts in order to see whether they contain astronomically valuable information. It appears that although most of them emphasize the sensational rather than the strictly scientific point of view (not quite unlike many newspapers of our days!), some still give us new insight into old astronomical observations.
