...ready to take their repeatedly postponed space walk early this week. That will enable them to erect a second sunshade over the area stripped bare when a micrometeorite shield ripped off during Skylab's launch in May. The astronauts will also take the opportunity to reload their solar-telescope array with fresh film. Underscoring the renewed optimism at Houston that Skylab would survive this latest crisis, Kraft made arrangements to bring Soviet Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin to Houston at week's end for a look at operations inside Mission Control...
...awning over the existing parasol during a space walk on the third day of the mission. If everything goes well, a second and third space walk will be undertaken later in the mission to collect and replace film mounted on the space station's solar telescope array...
...solar mixing does occur, it would also affect other planets of the solar system. In Nature, Carl Sagan of Cornell and Andrew Young of Caltech have suggested that fluctuating solar output could explain such Martian mysteries as the river-bed-like channels recently photographed by the Mariner 9 spacecraft. Martian water, now locked firmly in the frozen poles, presumably would have flowed freely during warmer times. Sagan and Young go further. Suspecting that our sun is not unique in its quirky behavior, they checked other nearby stars. In the cluster Praesepe, they found a number of stars that varied widely...
...first visit, the circular screen shows a sort of magnified and pulsating green organism. At "A drum! A drum! Macbeth doth come," we hear--indeed we feel--the pounding of heartbeats; but the heart, significantly, is afflicted with arrhythmia. In the scene where Ross calls attention to the solar eclipse, the circle becomes a view of the period of totality with its brightly flaming corona. When Banquo is murdered and Fleance escapes, the circle becomes a blood-red target with a bull's-eye of blue, the color of heavenly innocence...
...lead time in developing other sources is so great, the capital requirements are so great-conceivably the combination of solar technology, geothermal and maybe even hydrogen fusion will be the answer...
