Dean Hsieh laughs again when I tell him Michael uses feng shui. "Maybe that is why he makes so much money! But I think--it's silly! He pays the feng shui, the geologist, so much money for each visit! But maybe it helps him because his older customers trust him more if he does it. Maybe he does it for them...
...mythological wife-sister. Voyager 1 approached so close, less than 72,000 km (45,000 miles) away, that Rhea's features showed with crystalline sharpness. It too looked like the earth's moon, but its craters are so densely packed that U.S. Geological Survey Planetary Geologist Larry Soderblom called them "shoulder-to-shoulder craters, falling on top of each other...
...fared well in their unmanned explorations, except for landings on Venus, they are surpassing the U.S. in manned space projects. By launching men into orbit every few months, they have accumulated nearly twice as many man-hours in earth orbit as the U.S. Warns Senator Harrison Schmitt, a geologist and former astronaut soon to become chairman of the Senate's space subcommittee: "The Russians are ahead on the knowledge of how people can perform in space, and they are ahead on will and purpose...
...ratio of carbon dioxide to sulfur dioxide dropped sharply to 2.4 to 1. Similar drops preceded at least two of the post-May 18 eruptions. That raised immediate concern that the volcano was about to blow again. But the ratio is no certain predictor. Says Geologist Bob Noble: "We don't have anything that's 100% accurate...
...force of the blast and its timing surprised scientists. They are still not much closer to predicting when a volcano of the St. Helens type will blow; scientists have had much better luck with volcanoes in Hawaii. But the effort has hardly been a waste of time. Says U.S.G.S. Geologist Robert Christiansen: "It has taught us that volcanic hazards are real in the U.S." More probing will be done in November at a NASA conference about the atmospheric and climatic effects of Mount St. Helens, with a view to decoding whatever messages the volcano sent on that fateful...
