...light. Last week before the annual meeting of the American Physical Society at Columbia University Dr. Edward Olson Hulburt of the Naval Research Laboratory at Washington, gave the latest, refined theory of these phenomena. The round earth lies, in Dr. Hulburt's theory, within an egg-shaped ion cloud of its own making. This cloud is the out-spraying of the earth's spherical atmosphere which hugs the earth like a skin about 100 miles thick. Neutral atoms and molecules at the outer rim of the atmosphere dart further away from the earth into space. Sunlight ionizes them...
...light did not exert pressure this ion and electron cloud would be spherical in form. But because light does press, sunlight forces the cloud into its egglike shape. The butt side is towards the sun. It is in that direction 30,000 miles thick and appears as the Zodiacal light. From the opposite side of the earth where the cloud's resistance to sunlight pressure is less it is squeezed a million miles or more from earth into a thin taper. That is where the Gegenschein glows. Through that taper the earth's atmosphere very, very slowly escapes...
