Year ago Gamma began to grow brighter, like a nova, or exploding star. Astronomers were sure that the increased brilliance would be accompanied by generation of additional heat, but they were mistaken. For the temperature of Gamma dropped from 28,800° F. to 15,660°.

...meteorological map they resemble a mass of partly coiled snakes. Although the greater area of each tongue remains at uniform specific humidities, the extremities tend to undergo changes. At the southern ends of the dry tongues heat is lost and dry air descends from the upper regions. The northern ends of the wet tongues tend to condense, pass mois ture to the dry tongues. As the tongues exchange heat and moisture and as atmospheric currents follow the rotation of the earth, transverse currents of air are generated. Theoretically these currents cut across the more stable air tongues, dividing each...
