Everyone on Earth hit by billions of tiny particles Boston a one Day last year every person on Earth was bombarded with 10,000 billion ghostly particles called neutrinos hurled into space bythe explosion of a Star an astronomer said Friday. However neutrinos Are so incredibly Small and elusive thai they passed through buildings people and the Earth itself with barely a Trace. The neutrinos arc he remnants of a Supernova an exploding Star that Sud Denly appeared almost a year ago in inc skies of the Southern hemisphere. Such explosions happen regularly but this one was in the targe magellanic Cloud a Galaxy i million trillion Miles Awny which is close by heavenly standards. Ii is the brightest from an earthly perspective in 38j year. Scientists who have spent inc Pas year studying the Supernova discussed their findings at a meeting of the Amer ican association for the advancement of science John Bahcall of the Institute for advanced study in Princeton. N.j., said that last feb. 23. Every human on Earth was showered with about 10,000 billion neutrino from the exploding Star. However people Are constantly bombarded with neutrinos from our own Sun As Well and the added dose did no harm he said. Only i person in 10.000 had As much As a single Hydrogen atom changed by the neutrinos Bahcall said he said inc Supernova explosion was the equivalent of about one million Bil lion billion billion atomic bombs of the kind that destroyed Hiroshima. That s More Energy than a Hundred stars the size of the Earth s Sun would give off in Light Over tic lifetime of the universe. Scientists at the conference said they were surprised and delighted thai he Supernova acted almost exactly Tike their theories said it would. It was expected to make neutrinos and it did Nghil on schedule said j. Craig Wheeler of the University of Texas in Austin. The Basic predictions have come to pass with this  the researchers said that when inc Star blew up 94 percent of its exploding Energy was released in the form of neutrinos while most of the rest was Light. Inc neutrinos reached Earth three hours be fore the Light which was spotted from a Mountain top in Chile last feb. 24. Later though scientists found traces of the sudden burst of neutrinos in two huge Vals of water one in the United slates and one in Japan. Star wars satellite failed to track six targets Washington a a research satellite launched last week to lest elements of the proposed Star wars anti missile shield failed to track six tar get objects during one phase of inc Mission an Aero space Magazine reported Friday. In a Story prepared for monday publication aviation week and space technology reports that the air Force Delta 181 satellite was unable to Complete Bat the management Cut control computations when its inboard computers tried a Complex aiming exercise. Delta 18 was launched feb. 8 from inc Kenned space Center and then spent 12 hours conducting a series of tests to gather data needed to refine the strategic defense initiative or Star wars anti missile system.

Night a very successful Mission but aviation week said the flight failed to accomplish what the Magazine called a secondary objective sensors on the satellite were used to track 14 sub satellite targets released in two groups from the Delta. Most of these exercises were successful. Bui an attempt to compute the location of six objects in one group failed when the two inboard computers began making different calculations the Magazine said. The failure came when sensors attempted to look away and then look Back at the objects using laser and radar sensors aviation week said. Computer computations about the target locations became confused and this led to inaccurate pointing. The computers also sent commands to Manu Cvar the satellite in a search for the targets and this caused the Delta to use More Manu Evering fuel than was planned the Magazine said. The computers then triggered a warn ing system that limited the fuel usage. The Magazine said a portion of the pointing tests on the target group were lost As result. The Magazine however said seven sensors on the satellite were Able to gather needed data to calibrate instruments for future test missions the primary goal of Delta 181. Reported guard infractions minimized by Marine corps 10 years ago foday. Feb. 14, i97k the Dollar fell against All major West european currencies in what some dealers said was a wave of speculative Selling. The Dollar closed Al 2.q96s Marks in Frankfurt.

Many of the so called infractions were very minor such As curfew violations insubordination and misuse of telephones that could have no conceivable tic to suspected Kab activity inc corps said in a statement. The corps and the stale department both responded to a statement by rep. Dan Mica d-fla., that More than 500 reports of infractions by marines at embassies had remained in the stale department s files until recently. Mica said the reports which Call with Black Market activities or fraternization with soviets Are suppose to be turned Over to the naval investigative service for further investigation. Mica said his information came from the Genera accounting office the congressional watchdog Agency which began looking into Security at the embassies in the Wake of allegations of espionage at the Moscow embassy. The Kab often encourages people to engage in Ille Gal behaviour As a first step to gaining cooperation with them. Mica said. A state department official said the derision to turn Over information about a possible violation by a Marine guard is sometimes made by the marines some limes by the department. There have been instances where one or both passe along information to the Nis the. Official said. The re Moval of a Marine is also a joint Ilmi Ion he said. Asked about the 578 reports referred to by Mica the corps said the report is actually a listing of the Marine Security guard s whose hours of duty As embassy guards were Cut Short for a variety of reasons during the period j980-i987." some marines were removed for disciplinary Rea sons and others for medical reasons or for giving substandard performance. The statement said. Of the Security guards sent Home Between i9s5 and 1987 Only a handful could be said to relate to espionage the corps said. During that period Only one Marine St. Clayton Lon tree has been convicted of espionage for his activities in Moscow. The marines said they had not known about the list of 578 until june 1987 when it surfaced Al the de part Mcnol of
