Trouble is, this data is seldom available. "The New York Times illustrated the moon landing of Apollo 14 with maps and diagrams clearer than any ever used to describe the location of a new highway on earth," says Wurman. "We talk in numbers we can't comprehend and about sizes we can't visualize." All of which has led the plump, bearded architect to try to fill the need himself. He and Fellow Architect John Gallery have just written a guidebook to his own home town...

...hairline bone fractures; the fine cracks, most commonly found in the hip and hand, often fail to show up in X-ray pictures. Now the University of Wisconsin's Space Science and Engineering Center has taken the process used to improve the quality of television pictures from the moon and applied it to X-ray photography. The researchers place a conventional X-ray picture in a facsimile transceiver similar to the machine used to transmit wirephotos; there it is "read" by a photoelectric cell and the information fed into a computer programmed to eliminate "noise," or distortion, from...
...Pierrelatte. Analyzing uranium from the Oklo mine in Gabon, Africa, they found that it contained an abnormally low proportion of uranium 235, the radioactive isotope that powered the first atomic bomb with its awesome energy. In all other known uranium deposits-including a sample brought back from the moon by Apollo astronauts-U-235 invariably makes up .72% of the uranium ore; but the samples from the Oklo mine, which was opened in 1969, contained as little as .44% of U-235. Until the French discovery, levels that low had been found only in depleted uranium fuel taken from atomic...
