Letter: Letters : Space laser

Published 11 January 1997

From Alistair Knight

Edinburgh

From my limited knowledge of lasers I had often wondered whether they
occurred in nature or were entirely human artefacts. Your report on “stolen
starlight” (Âé¶¹´«Ã½, Science, 16 November 1996, p 16) seems to
show a laser effect in space for the first time.
