...spotlight with the state's senior Senator, Republican Jacob Javits. As for L.B.J., a White House aide says that "the President wouldn't get caught within 25 feet" of any of the candidates. Even so, both races will inevitably be interpreted as straws in the wind...
Waving in the Breeze. The earth's magnetic field is formed into its comet-like shape by the solar wind, a stream of charged particles continuously emitted from the sun at velocities that vary from 670,000 m.p.h. to about 1,600,000 m.p.h. On the side of the earth that faces the sun, the wind compresses the field into a rounded shell that extends only about 40,000 miles into space. On the dark (or antisolar) side, the field is pushed into a tail that is hundreds of thousands of miles long and waves in the solar breeze...
...solar wind may also be responsible for the moon's magnetic field reported by Luna. Scientists believe that charged particles from the sun induce tiny electric currents in the moon. These, in turn, generate a weak magnetic field which-like the earth's-is probably distorted into a cometlike shape and may even have its own collection of energetic electrons for Luna to detect. The presence of these electrons would be characterized by a peak of radiation every three hours-each time Luna passed through the lunar tail on the antisolar side of the moon...
