...sneaker circulated, the shadows crossed the remaining yards of the field, leaving only the Harvard cheering section in sunlight, and the clock ticked away the last seconds of the 100th Game. Exultant Harvards tore down both sets of goal posts (the playfulness soured when a Harvard freshman, Margaret Cimino, was seriously injured in the confusion). As they left the bowl, the old grads, practiced in their ancient animosity, jeered or muttered, according to school. Undergrads seemed to take victory or defeat casually, but seniors were beginning to practice their lines for the years that would follow graduation. Fred Anscombe, Yale...
...test flight, Spacelab will contain some 70 experiments designed by scientists from the U.S., Western Europe, Canada and Japan. Among them: a French experiment that will measure the radiation produced by sunlight's action on hydrogen; a West German high-resolution camera that will map the earth's surface; a U.S. study that may help explain the life cycle of stars and galaxies. Other tests will determine the advantages of fabricating specialized terrestrial materials (crystals, alloys, ceramics) in conditions of weightlessness rather than on earth. There are also studies to see how humble forms of life adapt...
...faulty booster-rocket nozzle, Spacelab remains an instructive example of international cooperation in a difficult area of technology. It also may be a prelude to more ambitious undertakings. Planners are already talking of giving Spacelab an array of solar panels so that it can generate its own electricity from sunlight. It would thus be able to float freely in space between shuttle missions. Initially, the unmoored laboratory would be unoccupied, acting simply as a remote-controlled observatory for scientists on earth. Eventually, more modules could be added with on-board living facilities, thereby enabling scientist-astronauts to remain in space...
Using steam to create the mist during winter, the fountain will function year round, Oommen said, adding, "there will be a rainbow as long as there is sunlight...
...been cautioning for nearly a century that the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas) is steadily increasing the atmosphere's CO2 content. The invisible gas itself is not dangerous. In fact, it is vital to green plants, which combine CO2 with water in the presence of sunlight to produce carbohydrates...
