On the day before Christmas, an annular eclipse* will occur over South America. That should create an awesome Yuletide display: a fiery ring of sunlight, the Comet Kohoutek and the bright planets Jupiter and Venus, all grouped in the same area of the eclipse-darkened...
...spacecraft remained at a normal 65° or 70°). Maneuvering the spacecraft with its thrusters, flight controllers in Houston turned the exposed area away from the sun. But by doing that they also changed the angle of the four working solar wings, which reduced their exposure to sunlight and dangerously lowered the production of electrical power...
SOLAR ENERGY. Rooftop solar stoves, used to heat water, are found in Australia, Israel and Japan as well as in some areas of the U.S. Scientists now want to convert sunlight into electricity -a much more difficult task. One technique, proposed by Aden and Marjorie Meinel, a man-and-wife team of scientists at the University of Arizona, involves spreading a "solar farm," consisting of piping containing a mixture of chemicals, over 25 sq. mi. of desert. Heated by the sun, the mix would be used to make steam, which would power turbines capable of producing some 1,000 megawatts...
