...photographing a tortured, cratered sphere whose cracked and faulted icy crust may indicate moonquakes. It took a closer look at Europa, which revealed an intricate lattice work of veinlike lines that may represent shallow fissures in an icy sea. Finally, Voyager 2 shifted its electronic gaze to lo, the innermost and most spectacular of the Galilean moons. Four months ago, Voyager 1 had spotted eight volcanoes in the midst of eruption, the first time such activity was observed other than on earth. Last week its successor photographed six of the same eruptions, suggesting to the U.S. Geological Survey...
...Chitrabhanu, "God is an idea, an inspiration, an innermost quest, rather than a figure who judges and puts you in hell or heaven." God is the perfection within man, not an outside creator. Chitrabhanu describes mankind as the last stage of evolution, a stage at which it is possible--though unlikely--for man to attain perfection. "Man is in a refined stage but there is one more step, to perfection, to cosmic experience, to omega consciousness...
...most curious of all these major moons is the innermost, lo (pronounced eye-oh). Roughly the size of the earth's own moon, it has reddish polar caps, a yellowish sodium cloud cover and a strange surface chemistry that may be a consequence of intense radiation bombardment. On its closest approach, Voyager will come within 18,800 km (11,650 miles) of this mysterious moon. Then, as Voyager sweeps away, its instruments will get glimpses of the other Jovian moons, perhaps even a tiny 14th moon, which was spotted several years...
...that "the individual cliff swallow is the philosophical equivalent of a single cell of the multicellular colony-organism," realizing that every good biologist must also be a philosopher. "The biologist," he concludes, "approaches nature in the form of a plant or animal and immediately begins asking questions about the innermost soul, the innermost characteristics, the true spectrum as well as the immediate traits, of the living thing." Janovy cannot offer his readers conclusive answers. But as his jewel of a journal makes clear, he never fails to ask the right questions...
...before whom man is totally degraded and who maybe, if you're lucky, if he feels like it on a whim, gives you grace, the East prefers to keep such psychological games out of the matter. Each person has this energy at his core, each person can reach his innermost being (and many do) and each person therefore is his own salvation on earth...
