Other scientists argue the exact opposite: they point out that the earth's average temperature has dropped by .2?? C. since 1945, though the carbon dioxide content of the air keeps increasing every year. To explain this phenomenon, many ecologists think that various particles in the atmosphere are reflecting sunlight away from the earth, thus cooling the planet. Since about 31% of the world's surface is covered by low clouds, increasing this cover to 36% through pollution would drop the temperature about 4° C.?enough to start a return...
...next 2?? years she and Patrick gadded about Europe, and all the attention was almost, almost unbearable; in Italy, Raquel even took to toting a squirt gun to cool down ardent paparazzi who dared stick their heads in her Cadillac limousine. Nothing could deter the photographers, however. By February 1967, she and Pat decided it was time to seal the Curtwel merger. In Paris, bedecked in a crocheted minidress, Raquel took her marriage vows for the second time...
...winning streak in their history. They slumped briefly in midsummer, but they have since rallied to win twelve of 13 games. As the season turns the Labor Day corner and heads into the stretch, the Mets are serious contenders for the National League pennant. Last week they were only 2?? games behind the faltering Chicago Cubs, the leaders of the league's Eastern Division.* Like the fabled little engine that could, they are pulling mightily, and they really believe they can make it. Whether they do or not, the very possibility that they might makes the Mets the biggest surprise...
Less than twelve minutes after liftoff, a brief boost from the S-4B third stage placed Apollo into a circular 119-mile orbit at a velocity of 17,427 m.p.h. Over the Pacific for the second time, just 2?? hrs. after launch, the spacecraft was cleared by Houston for "translunar insertion" (TLI). Firing for five minutes, the reliable S-4B engine accelerated the ship to 24,245 m.p.h., fast enough to tear it loose from the earth's gravitational embrace and send it toward the moon. At a point 43,495 miles from the moon, lunar gravity exerted a force...
After Aldrin has climbed back aboard the LM, Armstrong will send the sample boxes up the nylon conveyor and re-enter the spacecraft, about 2?? hours after he first emerged. The astronauts will then toss their PLSS units, overshoes and a camera out of the spacecraft to reduce the possibility of bringing back equipment contaminated by any lunar organisms that might exist...
