LEO BLITZ ("Giant MolecularCloud Complexes in the Galaxy") is assistant professor of astronomy at the University of Maryland at College Park. He obtained his B.S. in 1967 at Cornell University and his M.A. (1975) and Ph.D. (1979) in astronomy from Columbia University. His dissertation topic was the giant molecular-cloud complexes that form the subject of his current article. From 1978 to 1981 he was a postdoctoral fellow at the Radio Astronomy Laboratory of the University of California at Berkeley. Last year he moved to the University of Maryland. Blitz writes that he has "been using the giant molecular clouds as probes of the outer portions of the Milky Way. This work has demonstrated that the Milky Way is far more massive than has been thought and that much of the mass is likely to be in an as yet unknown form."
