(6 miles) across, while the outermost one is 100 km. (60 miles) wide. What the rings consist of is uncertain. Says Elliot: "One theory about Saturn's rings is that they are made out of snowballs, so one good guess about Uranus' rings would be that they are also some type...
...life begin on the primordial earth? Scientists looking for clues within the living cell have been stymied by a catch-22. All living organisms are composed largely of proteins, which consist of strings of amino acids manufactured within cells in small granules called ribosomes. But ribosomes are themselves highly complex protein structures that obviously evolved long after protein first appeared. Then how, without the complex ribosome "factories," was primitive protein produced? Last week, in a report published in the journal Origin of Life, a team of molecular biologists suggested an answer. If the hypothesis is correct, says...

Some 70 per cent of all trade and tourism depend on the United States; foreign companies, most of which have an American base, are the main exporters of Mexican products manufactured with foreign technology. In addition, Mexico pays close to $3 billion a year, including the private...
