Some studies at the center are much more mundane. Jack Eddy, a visiting scientist at the Center, has shown how the amount of radioactive carbon in tree rings can be related to sunspots. Increased solar activity leads to warmer climates, Eddy says, raising the radiocarbon content of the rings. Another group of astronomers, working with radio telescopes designed to detect water vapor in remote parts of our own galaxy, found they could also use the radio telescope to measure the amount of water vapor in the earth's atmosphere. The method proved cheaper and more accurate than previous techniques, like...
Generations of astronomers and amateur stargazers have known Saturn as the only one of the solar system's nine planets that is encircled by rings. Now Saturn has lost that distinction. A team of Cornell University astronomers reported last week that they have discovered rings around remote Uranus, the seventh planet from...

...Inaugural parade, Jimmy Carter's reviewing stand was warmed by a specially constructed solar heating unit as a demonstration of his dedication to the cleanest and most abundant energy source available within existing technology. The energy package will provide federal funds for accelerated research leading to solar electrical generation. It will also give income tax credits up to $2,000 to homeowners who install solar heating units...
...they face a serious threat of breakup, they will not make the investments required. In return for a pledge to stop dismemberment, Carter should extract a promise that the companies will devote a large share of the profits they would reap from price decontrol to exploration and development of solar, nuclear and synthetic fuels...
