...dismantled within two weeks. "It will make one hell of a revival tent when it comes down," mused Pop Artist Jim Rosenquist, one of the group of artists, museum curators and dealers who assembled to watch the installation. "It was a beautiful birth, all rosy mist and hidden sunlight," enthused the curator of Dartmouth's Hopkins Center Art Galleries, Jan van der Marck, a longtime collaborator of Christo's.

Nearly two hours later, Viking signaled that a xenon lamp, which simulates Martian sunlight in one of the biology experiments, had turned on. This confirmed that the arm had delivered soil to the laboratory and that the biology experiments had started. The first experiment-a search for evidence of the life process called photosynthesis-was under way. The photosynthesis experiment, plus the two that showed the unexpectedly early results, will take twelve days to complete. Furthermore, the tests will have to be repeated before Viking biologists can draw any firm conclusions about the existence of life in the particular soil...
...Hubert Lamb believes the change is cyclical, occurring every 200 years or so. Reid Bryson of the University of Wisconsin and many others blame the earth's cooling on an increase of dust particles in the atmosphere; the particles act like tiny mirrors, reflecting back some of the sunlight sinking the atmosphere and depriving the earth's surface of solar heat...
