This "superstar" is believed to have the luminosity equivalent to 150 million suns. It burns hydrogen so fast that it emits as much energy in one second as the sun does in five years, Cassinelli said. He added that R136A blasts into space an equivalent of the earth's mass every day at a speed of 7,500,000 miles per hour...
DIED. Harold Urey, 87, Nobel-prizewinning chemist whose 1931 discovery with two colleagues of the heavy form of hydrogen called deuterium helped usher in the nuclear age and led to the development of the hydrogen bomb; of a heart attack; in La Jolla, Calif. An Indiana clergyman's son who remained a lifelong critic of military force, Urey was an innovative researcher in a wide range of scientific fields. He was considered the father of modern lunar science for his speculations about the moon's geology. During World War II his work in separating the heavy or isotope...
Later, even once men with strings of degrees arrived on the scene, things were little better. A bubble of hydrogen formed near the dome of the reactor, and there was general fear that it might explode or expand enough to push away the reactor coolant and expose the core. Everyone worried, but no one knew what to do--as one NRC official said, "We have got every systems engineer we can find... thinking the problem, and they are not coming up with answers... We don't have a solution, but maybe we are coming up with one." And maybe...
Before last week's culmination of Voyager's odyssey, a two-day close encounter of the most extraordinary kind, Saturn was relatively unknown. It is a gigantic swirling gaseous ball, mostly hydrogen and helium, that could encompass 815 earths, but even with the best telescopes and the most settled atmospheric conditions, it had never been seen as much more than a fuzzy yellow ringed sphere. Now, in a flash of binary bits across space, it had become a clearly recognizable place under the sun, with its own wonders, surprises and mysteries...
Life would be tough under the Kremlin. At the same time, it's rough under the Pentagon. Even worse under vast stockpiles of germ warfare, atomic and hydrogen weaponry. Odds for survival are likely as good or better if we keep only police, national-coastguard and disarm unilaterally. If pushed out of some markets by Soviets, we probably can make that up by billions saved on the defense establishment. If U.S. must have a nuclear unbrella, use that of Britain and France. Henry Ratliff July...
