I also appreciated Cynthia Saltzman's fine picture of bathers climbing among seaside rocks. A dark, truncated male figure and the granular texture of the rocks gives the photo an engaging sense of imminence...
...volcanoes. Under intense ultraviolet radiation from the sun, the two gases could combine into carbon-suboxide vapor. Indeed, the two scientists were able to simulate that very reaction in the laboratory. Their experiment also demonstrated that when the temperature is high enough, the vapor could solidify into a fine granular material, turn yellow and precipitate onto the Martian surface. Where would such a "snowfall" occur? Most likely at the Martian equator, where temperatures rise to 80° F. (v. -190° F. at the poles) and where odd yellowish clouds have already been observed...
