...Army's new night peeper leaves no such signature. It needs only the faint light that comes from the moon, stars or sky glow, which is never entirely absent. This light, bouncing off targets, is focused on a semitransparent screen at the front end of an extremely sensitive electron tube. The screen is photoemissive-it gives off electrons when struck by the faintest light. These photoelectrons are then speeded up by high electrical charges so that when they hit a phosphor (luminescent) screen in the tube, they make a much brighter image. The process is repeated three times, until...
...Moon-Spinners. The mere notion of a juvenile suspense thriller by Walt Disney is apt to give moviegoers the heebie-jeebies. It calls up unnerving images. Seven stray cats finding their way home to a haunted castle. Donald Duck meeting Frankenstein. Hordes of psychotic chipmunks slaughtering each other for nuts. But The Moon-Spinners, filmed in picture-book color on the island of Crete, turns out to be daft and breezy escapism assigned to a cast of flesh-and-blood actors headed by Hayley Mills. Given a plot that might fit snugly into the Nancy Drew mystery series, Hayley plays...
Ever since Ranger 7 shot its closeups of the moon, scientists have been studying the pictures in minute detail. They contain the most detailed information man has ever collected about his planet's nearest neighbor. And they are already shattering some long-held theories. Ranger's lunar snapshots, says Dr. John A. O'Keefe of Goddard Space Flight Center, prove that the moon has not been a dead cinder ball for billions of years, as many astronomers believe. In fairly recent times, it seems to have stirred with volcanic activity...
...Keefe has concluded that the arėtes are volcanic, are probably made of stiff lava forced out of parallel cracks in the moon's crust. Some of them may have erupted during the moon's youth. Much more recently - 100 million years ago or less - one of the cracks may have opened agan and oozed laval to form a cluster of low black mounds on a plain that was already thickly peppered with debris from young Tycho...
Under this system small day-to-day inequities are taken for granted. The other day, for instance, Sen. Goldwater's statement that he would cut back our crash program to put a man on the moon got the drophead treatment in most papers, although President Johnson had merely spent another day promising to be President of all the people and worrying about the button...
