Many a scientist's fond hope that there was life on Mars was dashed in 1963 when spectrographic studies revealed that the Martian atmosphere is as much as 50 times thinner than the earth's. It seemed almost certain that a relatively weak Martian gravity had allowed most...
In a paper presented to an American Chemical Society meeting in San Francisco, Jet Propulsion Laboratory Astrophysicist Lewis Kaplan disclosed that spectrograms of the Martian atmosphere, made when the planet was 70 million miles from the earth last year, suggest that Mars has a concentration of hydrogen compounds in its...
Strenuous Climate. Kaplan's discovery was made possible by French Astronomers Pierre and Janine Connes, who developed new equipment at the Observatoire de Haute-Provence that enabled them to produce the most detailed spectrograms of Mars ever made. Originally intended to reveal data about atmospheric pressure at the Martian...

The "overriding rule" of foreign policy, said the President, is that it "must always be an extension of our domestic policy," and for that reason he deeply mistrusted any international experts who do not know their U.S. politics. "The reason for this is very simple. Politics are the...
The findings are based on analysis of radar, infrared, and other observations of Mars, much of it conducted with the 85-foot radio telescope of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
