The Reston building was, in Army parlance, a "hot zone," an area that contained lethal, infectious organisms.

Since no water seems to have been stirred up, the explosions probably took place in the presumed sulfide layer. If researchers confirm that the sulfur rose up from Jupiter, it will be "a major discovery," says University of Arizona astronomer Roger Yelle. "We've always believed that much of the color in Jupiter's clouds comes from sulfur compounds, but we've never detected them...
