...whose 14-year mission to Jupiter revolutionized understanding of the giant planet; in Jupiter's atmosphere. Operated by a version of the same computer chip used to run the Pong video game, Galileo beamed down more than 14,000 photos during its life span, providing evidence that a vast subterranean ocean exists on Jupiter's icy moon Europa. Galileo was running out of fuel and NASA worried the craft might spread microorganisms from Earth if it crashed into Europa...
...Obviously there’s a subterranean intensity to all of this,” Okhotin said. “But on the surface you try to remain calm...
...white and yellow butterflies. Scenes like this demanded another superlative: there surely was no more tranquil spot on earth. Farther downstream, though, the Mae Klong flexes its muscles, narrowing into Class 4 and 5 rapids that should satisfy most adrenaline cravings, before disappearing into a maze of deadly subterranean caves to re-emerge in neighboring Kanchanaburi province as the famous River Kwai...
Five unshaven men with blackened work boots and thick gloves move toward the giant, greasy drill that has just emerged from beneath the ground. Once the drill is unhinged and swings freely, the crew encircles it and locks onto it a 9.5-m extension that will take this subterranean search for the mother lode even deeper into the earth. It is a rugged if familiar ballet of industrial labor, repeated daily from a perch halfway up a 65-m-high steel tower. But this time the familiar scene is not taking place on a North...
...This has led over the past two decades to Enel's development of innovative deep exploration techniques that allowed it to drill down past the hotter (up to 400C) subterranean layers that exist at 3,000 to 4,000 m - twice as deep as earlier explorations. The Tuscan approach of looking deeper is now utilized elsewhere in the world during initial explorations, and will be applied when other shallow wells begin to dry up. Back at the drilling site, a team of geologists demonstrates the latest push to expand the search for new sources of steam. Borrowing from the most...
