Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-01-05

Mostly meteors are tiny specks of matter, prob
ably no larger than grain of sand AS they streak
into the earth's atmosphere they meet for the first
time in perhaps thousands or millions of years
something other than empty nterpanetary space.
Rushing at a speed of many miles a second
these tiny specks of matter have enormous energy
stored up in them due to their motion. This knetic
energy as it is called. turns into heat energy on
contact with the earth's surrounding belt of air.
Soon the meteor is heated to glowing ncandescence
and watchers on the earth see it flare up into the
familiar shooting star
No danger to The earth are mere meteors. What
may form the hazard the larger chunks of
matter that large enough to survive their trial
by fire as they plunge through the air and strike
the earth Some of these meteorites, as they are
designated weigh many tons.
At Meteor Crater in Arizona in the distant past
a giant meteorite struck and has torn a huge hole
in the desert landscape This crater is 1000 feet,
across and is still 500 feet deep despite the ravages
of erosion which have gradually filled up the bot
tom of the crater The close resemblance in APP
pearance of this Arizona crater, to the smaller

eclipse of the sun and some exploration of the
moons surface would take about month.
What kind of power, or fuel. will be needed
rocket ships that can cover the nearly oOO.O0O
ms TO the moon and back? No one quite knows,
but century of research seems capable of devel-
looping some potent fuel now unknown. 1t Is even
possible that in the new-found release of atomic
|energy from the rare lsotope of uranium known
las L 235. science already has the fuel 1t needs.
This L 235 is millions of times powerful =
pound for pound - as is coal that now furnishes
one of mans greatest sources of power Perhaps
Ia century of engineering research on how to uti-
lie the vast quantities of atomic energy stored
Iup in L 235 will supply the answer to rocket fuel.
Atomic power is a complicated thing for even
scientists to understand, but DR. w. F. e. Swami,
director of the Bartol Research Foundation OF the
Franklin Institute, has explained 1t with simple
analogy for the readers of The American Weekly.
| Suppose" says DR.. Swami, that visualize
d tremendous country inhabited by great numbers
3of people of super-strength. There Is almost
unlimited potential power and force IN this nation.
but the people merely go about their business in
3Iuet and orderly fashion, doing not much OF
anything except the mere business OF keeping alive
Then suppose that an agitatOr comes into this
3ountry someone who stirs the people up They
revolt and break out in tremendous force.
Something very much like this happens in
| he case of atomic power. There is almost I'M
Delievable power stored up in a substance like the
Uranium sotope U 235. When aneutron "a neutral
|atomic partcle) is introduced into the substance
q is like introducing agitator among the
rstwhile quiet people of super-strength; there is
revolution, and the power is released.
The energy liberated when uranium atom
Rxnlodes is tremendous. A pound of uranium can
! heory, liberate as much energy as would
bS0 900 pounds of coal if it were burned.
The atomic energy from uranium, it may thus
be seen, provides a compact but terrifcally
powerful fuel for rocket ship. So new is the
discovery of the release of uranium's atomic
mercy that the details and engineering develop
nent of how to harness it have not yet been
worked out. But at the speed and intensity of
nodern research it is quite probable that these
present difficulties of application will be solved
ong before another 100 years have elapsed.

bodies Of water. Thus the geography OF the moon
Is filled with such fancifu names as the 'Sea OF
Serenity Sea of Crises and Sea of Show
ers.' Now it is known that these seas were non
existent, but the old names were retained anyway
The craters OF the moon were first assumed
to be true volcanic craters, and enthusiastic but
over-lmagnatve observers from time to time re-
ported seeing eruptions A careful watch has long
since disclosed that these craters are not now
volcanic, if they ever were. Their origin is still
quite mystery.
One difficult thing to explain about the craters
is the giant size of some of them. The crater of
Copernicus, to choose only one example, is go
miles in diameter; some are even larger.
Another possible explanation of the eraters
is that they are the pockmarks on the moons face
caused by meteortes.- Cratersr due to Raeteerites
are known on the earth's surface.
Meteorites chunks of rock or iron-nickel
which whir into the region of the earth from outer
space. More and more it is being proved that they
consist of fragments of comets which have broken
up and wander around the sun in greatly elon-
gated orbits

craters on the moon, is the greatest reason for
thinking that the moon craters, too, have been
caused by meteorites. Certain it is that because
the moon lacks atmosphere the impact of the
meteorites on the moon would be greater for
given size of object than would the impact on the
earth of a comparable meteorite Moreover, be-
cause the pull of gravity is so much less on the
moon than it is on the earth, meteorite crashing
on the moon would hurl material farther and give
the appearance of doing more damage than 1t
would on the earth.
Still scientists shake their heads when asked
to picture huge meteorite which could create
crater of 90 and more miles in diameter. Yet, if
the craters the moon are, to be explained by
this cause there many questions still I'm
answered
Many moon craters, as one troublesome puzzle,
are not really craters at all in far as the inside
of the ring is concerned Inside of the crater the
pitted moon surface is filled up with material so
that the center of the crater ring is mile two
above the plain outside the ring This looks more
like volcano than a crater Moreover, some
craters have a central peak with sloping walls
that look like rock slides
Some moon craters appear to have rim that
is 10000 feet above the surrounding plain. The
floor of these craters is depressed $4,000 feet
below the rim and the central peak may be 10000
feet above the craterS floor.
There is strong evidence that lava flows have
occurred the rims of the craers to the sur
face of the moon nearby. The great seas of the
moon now believed to consist of large areas of
opce-moten, flowing lava that has now turned to
lava rock. Studies of the light reflected. off the
moon support this view for such light is much like
that which is reflected off volcanic rock pumice
1t is probable that the moons surface is COW
cred to depth of several inches with such volcanic
dust Men from the earth who might walk over
such layers would probably stir up great clouds
of dust These dust clouds would disappear almost
instantly the particles falling back to the surface
quickly large stone would fall because of the
lack of atmosphere to hold them up. Of life on the
moon there can be none for there is no air or water
present.
There is one lunar feature which has defied
explanation despite four centuries of observation
through telescopes by man on earth This is the
strange white ray, streak. Systems of such
streaks surround certain craters on the moon
notably the crater of Tycho
Nothing stops these streaks. They run over
mountains, through valleys, and across the seas
