...remember as a child what it was like playing house out in the woods? It was exciting. It was wonderful-until it rained. Well, I could build you that house today, where the sunlight would come through just as in the forest. A house with no walls, no doors, no windows-only paths of green ferns and green trees through a rainbow of flowers. And it would never rain. I call this house 'the Garden of Eden...
...gazers who stayed awake to see last week's eclipse of the moon were treated to an astronomical surprise: the moon actually did disappear from view. Even during a total eclipse, the moon usually glows red after it slides into shadow because a small amount of refracted sunlight is bent around the earth by the atmosphere. This time, as observers in the small chilly hours watched the earth's shadow creep across the lunar surface, the moon's light finally flickered out entirely...
...observatory's director, reported what they had seen to astronomical authorities. He had not seen the spots himself, but he ordered a close watch kept on Aristarchus. The moon waned, throwing the crater into cold and darkness, but in late November, two days after the edge of sunlight reached Aristarchus again, Dr. Hall and four other observers saw a reddish area, twelve miles long and 1½ miles wide, inside the rim right where one of the spots had been seen in October...
...what chemical elements are responsible for the red color. But astronomers are notoriously skeptical about strange eruptions on the moon, and these confirmed reports are unusually convincing. They also tend to bear out 1961 sightings by Russian Astronomer Nikolai Kozyrev. Dr. Hall believes that the fierce heat of returning sunlight may have released gases from the lunar interior. At a Dallas conference on newly discovered astronomical objects last week, Nobel Chemist Dr. Harold Urey suggested that the gas may have contained carbon in the form of two-atom molecules that cannot exist on earth. If further evidence proves that...
Front & Center. On Monday, sunlight splashed the rotunda, and a million people lined the streets of Washington. Shortly before 11 a.m., nine servicemen slid the casket from its catafalque, bore it haltingly, laboriously down the 36 Capitol steps past the black-clothed ranks of John Kennedy's family. The drums began a muffled thunder. There was a gnashing of metal as the military men loaded it aboard the glistening black caisson, the same that carried the coffin of Franklin Delano Roosevelt 18 years...
