...personal opinion is that it does imply water." Further deductions are even more iffy, but Dr. Strong suspects that free oxygen may exist along with carbon dioxide in the Venusian atmosphere.

...Thor-Delta combination was to have launched an Orbiting Solar Observatory, the second of its kind, next Tuesday. Leo Goldberg, Higgins Professor of Astronomy, and William Liller, Robert Wheeler Willson Professor of Astronomy, are in charge of a Harvard team that has spent over five years building an ultraviolet spectrometer for the OSO.

...Donald Stookey of Corning Glass Works explained that the strange "photochromic" glass, which he had invented along with Dr. William H. Armistead, contains submicroscopic crystals of silver halide, 128 million billion of them per cubic inch. They do not affect its color or transparency, but strong visible or ultraviolet light turns the crystals to metallic silver, which absorbs light and makes the glass look grey. The same thing happens to the silver halide particles in photographic film, but their darkening is permanent. The silver atoms in the glass are held so tightly that they cannot move away from the place...

Reused writing materials, called palimpsests, are irradiated with ultraviolet light and reveal words that were erased thousands of years...
