...moon, says Astronomer Cudaback, is probably covered by a thick porous layer that is as light and airy as finespun cotton candy. It is also possible, he says, that there is a foamy crust of crumbly, crackerjack-like material or a lunar honeycomb with cells intact and filled with gas. The moon got that way, he figures, because it has been bombarded with meteors for billions of years. Striking the moon's skin with enough energy to melt 100 times their own mass, the meteors liquefied rock or whatever else they hit, splashing gobs of molten material all over...
...treatment was painless, but a beauty shop operator from Columbus testified: "She put some liquid on my face, and it was just like liquid fire." Though no one testified to actual injury from Cora's treatment, doctors said in court that since it peels off the top layer of skin by a slow burn, the phenol formula would definitely do damage; it might also injure the kidneys...
...about half an acre a day. The strips are sealed together (one company uses heat, the other mastic and tape). The resulting seams are buried in twelve-inch trenches and covered with dirt to anchor the liner to the lake floor. Recreational lakes need an additional six-inch layer of earth to protect the plastic bottom from being holed by boat anchors and fish spears...
...April, apparently after some undercover ransoming by insurance companies, in an abandoned car in Marseille. Though it had escaped serious damage when the thieves pulled it from its frame, the painting needed a new canvas backing. Kansas City Art Conservator James Roth set to work, found an unusually thick layer of glue beneath the torn fabric. He softened the rock-hard glue with wet packs, picked away with tweezers, gradually revealing the white-kerchiefed head of a woman, its strongly modeled face accented by deep red shadows...
...Argument. But the major purpose of Mariner II is to settle some old scientific arguments. Although Venus is Earth's nearest planetary neighbor, scientists have been able to learn very little about it. Venus is covered with a dense layer of clouds that hides its surface. Scientists have variously estimated its temperatures from 38° below zero in its upper atmosphere to 615°F. near its surface...
