...eclipse photographs showed the earth silhouetted against a crescent of sunlight stretching from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific. From this and other eclipse pictures, astronomers hope to learn more about the characteristics of backlighted terrestrial atmosphere as a guide for studies of the atmospheres of other planets...

Today, the city's richest businessmen still walk to work rather than buy automobiles; only recently did the last of them abandon the electricity-pinching practice of using white sails to reflect sunlight into their musty offices.

"London smog," on the other hand, usually contains...
