An eye blister is a benign growth which can appear on the whites of the eyes or on the cornea itself. There are two main types of eye blister: pinguecula and pterygium.
Before x ray machines were invented, broken bones, tumors and the location of bullets were all diagnosed by physical examination and a doctor's best guess. Patients paid the price of these approaches. Then on November 8th of 1895, a German physics professor Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen made a remarkable discovery.
Thus fortuitously, and as first pointed out by Frank Paolini, Scorpius X-1 became the first X-ray source discovered outside the Solar System. The angular resolution of the detector did not initially allow the position of Scorpius X-1 to be accurately determined.
