...feel the need to use drugs any more ... When you've gotten the message, you hang up the phone." For Moss, the message is that Kirlian photography clearly demonstrates a human aura. "We have done work with acupuncturists and [psychic] healers," she says, "and we find that the corona of the healer becomes intense before healing, and then afterward is more relaxed and less strong. We think we're looking...
...months or even years before the 200 solar scientists working on the Skylab program can digest the information. But some important discoveries have already been made, particularly about the sun's corona, or outer atmosphere. During the mission, at a time in the eleven-year solar cycle when the sun should be relatively quiet, two exceptionally large flares suddenly appeared; one of them expanded over an area 17 times the diameter of the earth. Under the direction of Garriott, a solar scientist by profession, the awesome event was photographed and measured from the first minutes of the eruption. Their...
...Skylab astronauts also obtained closeup views of erupting prominences, which consist of relatively cool clouds of ionized (or charged) gases that have temperatures of only about 6,000° F., compared with typical temperatures of 2,000,000° elsewhere in the corona. Before Skylab 2, solar physicists thought the phenomenon was relatively rare. Now it has been observed about once every two weeks, followed by periods of radio interference on earth. The astronauts also made observations of so-called solar bright points; although the points were previously thought to be concentrated in the sun's active equatorial belts...

When Banquo is murdered and Fleance escapes, the circle becomes a blood-red target with a bull's-eye of blue, the color of heavenly innocence...
