...earth's atmosphere, the astronauts took some vivid color movies of a sheath of gases glowing with purple, blue and green incandescence as it was heated by the friction of the spacecraft's passage. They were the first re-entry photographs ever taken. As Gemini plunged into denser atmosphere, the colors increased in brilliance: a sharply defined blue shock wave expanded, and hot, golden fragments ripped loose from the glowing heat shield to shoot past the window in a dazzling stream...
...What happened to them? All the researchers agree that they must have been eroded away - perhaps by swirling dust storms, perhaps by a flow of Martian water. "In any event," conclude Anders and Arnold, "the crater density on Mars no longer precludes the possibility that liquid water and a denser atmosphere were present on Mars during the first 3.5 billion years of its history." If there was water, there may have been life. And if Mars once supported some form of life, it still...
...Earth. - The planet's pock-marked surface, judging by what is already known of the moon's face, must be ancient-perhaps 2 billion to 5 billion years old-and well preserved. Scientists infer that Mars has never had a significant amount of water or an atmosphere denser than it is now, or else the Martian surface would show more signs of erosion. - There were no signs of the vaunted canals, and no Earthlike features such as mountain chains, great valleys or ocean basins...
...Museum of Modern Art, have drawn Ipousteguy to the top rank of France's sculptors. Now 44, he gravitated to sculpture after years as a painter and grade-school art teacher, a job he kept until two years ago. He turned to sculpture in 1949 because "with its denser aspects it is more suitable to my expression, which is often closer to sadness than serenity." His first notable exhibit was in 1956 at the Paris Salon...
...start trolling within minutes of arrival for such specialized game fish as corvina (which go to 20 Ibs.) and sargo. Since Salton Sea is 234 ft. below sea level, speed enthusiasts also like to test the theory that engines run better and boats go faster because the air is denser there...
