Extract

A Skylark rocket (SL727) carrying an X-ray astronomy experiment prepared by the University of Adelaide and Tasmania (UAT) was launched from Woomera at 0030 UT on July 10, 1970. The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) was detected during the flight, and the recent observation of structure within the Cloud is confirmed. In particular, the data support the suggestion of X-ray emission from the 30 Doradus (Tarantula) Nebula.
