...active Mount Spurr volcano that included a 3-D survey of the hellish terrain and an analysis of gases issuing from belching vents. Among the significant results: the first maps of the crater's surface, normally hidden by outcroppings and haze. Dante also discovered scant sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide in the noxious air, implying that the volcano, which erupted in 1992, will probably stay quiet for a while...
...Garage" home of Newbury Comics but more importantly, Beebop Burrito. You have not lived until you have gone toe-to-toe with a Super Burrito. The density and the power of a Beebop Burrito is matched only by that of the Hydrogen bomb...
...halo and a tail. Scientists studying the chemical composition of the spots on Jupiter where S-L 9 hit thought they might see evidence of water and oxygen, two of the expected products when an icy comet vaporizes. But except for one unconfirmed report,researchers have found only ammonia, hydrogen sulfide and sulfur...
...will provide an opportunity to study the winds above Jupiter's cloud tops. "The mark left by the first impact is already starting to be spread around," she observes. There are also hints of seismic waves -- ripples thatmay have traveled all the way to a dense layer of liquid hydrogen thousands of miles down and then bounced back up to the surface, creating rings half the size of the planet's visible face. These waves may offer clues to Jupiter's internal structure...
...moon. Despite scientists' sober warnings that the Great Comet Crash of 1994 might be an uneventful dud, the first chunk plowed into Jupiter's atmosphere with the force of perhaps 10 million hydrogen bombs, lofting a mushroom cloud of hot gas nearly 1,000 miles out into space and leaving a dark scar on the planet's familiar, brightly colored clouds. The assembled astronomers looked at the video screen for a second in silent disbelief -- then began cheering and toasting one another with swigs from champagne bottles. Said Hammel: "This is the kind of stuff I've been dreaming about...
