Repeating Wood's experiment with a filtered, 8-in. telescope, Green produced lunar pictures with black spots near the crater Aristarchus, from which astronomers have reported seeing a red glow-a possible sign of volcanic activity. To Geologist Green, it all makes sense. Sulphur is the most abundant of volcanic materials, he says, and wherever volcanic sulphur is found on earth, it is surrounded by hydrous rock...
Electrically charged SSTs would actually provide a visual dividend. Ionization of the air in front of the planes would produce a corona discharge that would be seen as a bright blue glow in the dark. "When supersonic traffic gets heavy," says Cahn, "this could provide observers on the ground with a spectacular view at night...

Later, with Liz as cheerleader, Burton got up onstage and rumbled two songs from Camelot-winning less applause than a pop singer named Johnny Holliday, the current hero of tout Paris...
