Light over ranges

Mark Kohut:
Sans the jargon you found. . . .

Like I said, I ain't no scientist, but i'm trying out this Jargon defibrillator:

Azimuth is the horizontal component of a direction (compass direction), 
measured around the horizon, from the north toward the east 
(i.e., clockwise) in geodesy and from the south toward the west 
(i.e., clockwise) in astronomy. It is usually expressed in degrees.

polychromatic: Having or exhibiting many colors.
Of or composed of radiation of more than one 
wavelength: polychromatic light.

Polarised Light: The direction of the movement that created the 
photon - this blob of light - will be at some angle to the path it is 
travelling, and the wave motion of the photon will reflect this; 
this is what is called polarisation.

The first clues to the existence of polarized light surfaced around 
1669 when Erasmus Bartholin discovered that crystals of the 
mineral Iceland spar (more commonly referred to as calcite) 
produce a double image when objects are viewed through the 
crystals in transmitted light. During his experiments, Bartholin 
also observed a quite unusual phenomenon. When the calcite 
crystals are rotated about their axis, one of the images moves 
in a circle around the other, providing strong evidence that the 
crystals are somehow splitting the light into two different beams.

Tellurium is occasionally found native, but is more often found as the 
telluride of gold (calaverite), and combined with other metals. It is 
recovered commercially from anode muds produced during the 
electrolytic refining of blister copper. The U.S., Canada, Peru, and 
Japan are the largest Free World producers of the element.

"Would that," Frank pretended to inquire, "be the famous 
gunfighter Bob Meldrum? here in Telluride?"AtD 282
