...about to become President at a time when Brazil's economic crisis (a $102 billion foreign debt and an annual inflation rate of 230%) required determined action rather than inflammatory rhetoric. Though he never had a chance to confront those problems, he came to represent for 134 million Brazilians--rich and poor, liberal and conservative--the belief that equitable economic solutions could be found...
Alvarez, his curiosity aroused, shipped samples of the sediment back to the U.S. and showed them to his father Luis, a Nobel-prizewinning physicist also at the University of California, who had the clay analyzed. To everybody's surprise, it turned out to be 30 times as rich in iridium as normal rocks. The Berkeley team knew of only a few places where such high concentrations of the rare element might occur: in the earth's core, perhaps 2,000 miles belowground; in extraterrestrial objects like asteroids (or their fragments, meteors) and comets; or in the cosmic dust drifting...
Most experts agree with Harvard Astronomer Fred Whipple, who characterized comets as "dirty snowballs" consisting largely of ice and mineral-rich dust. Comets are thought to originate in the Oort cloud, a distant shell of icy debris believed to surround the solar system and extend out some 10 trillion miles from the sun. Passing stars sometimes dislodge snowballs from the cloud, which can sprout the classic luminous tails of gas and dust as they plunge toward the sun. Most comets whip around the sun and head back out of the solar system. Some, like Halley's, periodically return. But others...
