...Philadelphia last week Sir James repeated his theory of the solar system's development: the sun and another star once upon a time passed close to each other, a rare celestial occurrence. The passage caused enormous tides in the gaseous sun. Streamers of sun material sped into the void, broke away from the sun, coalesced into planets...
...Compounds. Temperature of the sun (12,000° F. on the surface, perhaps millions within) is so great that it was believed that elements could not exist there in molecules or compounds, only as free atoms. Henry Norris Russell (Princeton) reported spectographic discovery of seven solar compounds of hydrogen, four of oxygen, and three of other elements. Sun compounds are not stable as earth's. On earth an oxygen atom holds two hydrogen atoms and makes a molecule. On the sun the oxygen holds only one hydrogen atom, and they are ever ready to sunder...
...centre boils, he might do what he wished with electrons and protons. At that temperature matter's subunits dance around each other and coalesce as atoms; atoms break up into their electron and proton elements; and every explosion, every coalescence scatters atomic energy. Professor Compton cannot duplicate solar heat, but with a mighty X-ray tube, he calculates, he can drive particles of matter at speeds so nearly solar that new atoms will result. His tool will be a 10,000-volt tube, five times the size of the tube whose description won the American Association for the Advancement...
...Einstein is the world's most celebrated living scientist, laymen tend to turn his suggestions into new Einstein theories.* Last week despatches contained accounts of a new Einstein sun theory. While talking with Mt. Wilson Observatory astronomers about cyclones on the sun which sweep clockwise across the southern solar hemisphere, counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere, Dr. Einstein suggested that a temperature difference between the sun's poles and equator might be the cause of the solar cyclones. Most probably, he said, the polar regions were warmer than the equatorial regions. Having given out an idea for Mt. Wilson...
This film, already utilized in photographing sporting events at night, was designed primarily for astronomers to photograph very dim stars. Using film treated with neocyanine the solar spectrum has been photographed up to 11,634 angstrom units, far beyond red at 8,000 angstrom units, the longest visible wavelength...
