Professor Ramsey believes that Saturn has a similar structure. Uranus and Neptune are mostly ammonia and methane. Recent studies by M.J.M. Bernal and H.S.W. Massey at University College in London have shown that ammonia joins with hydrogen at 250,000 atmospheres to form metallic "ammonium": NH4. So the interiors of Neptune and Uranus probably contain another metal made out of a gas by pressure...
...lecturer (at $1 a head) on the wonders of Mars, after he 1) tried to sell Policewoman Mary Smeaton a brain-relaxing helmet and other souvenirs he said he brought back from his trip to the planet in 1947; 2) told her she would return to her home planet Saturn after 14,000 more years; 3) rhapsodized about Martian food, which the body absorbs without the need for elimination, and Martian water, which can be swum in without getting...
...ring is not made of dust particles like the rings of Saturn; it consists of hydrogen whose atoms have been ionized, i.e., broken into protons and electrons. The ring as a whole is electrically neutral since the amounts of positive protons and negative electrons are about equal, but the protons (for complicated reasons connected with their greater mass) move faster. This makes the ring, in effect, a current of positive electricity flowing around the earth...
There is no evidence so far that the earth has a second satellite, but Mars has two satellites, Jupiter has twelve satellites, and Saturn probably has millions of them in its rings. The earth may have picked up a few small ones. The fact that they have not been discovered yet does not prove that they do not exist...
