the flight commander run his

They looked at the copilot

started down runway Bill,

and turning toward Paris.
Capt. Rushton kept an in

Charles Augustus Lindbergh
flew the same route in a
Ryan monoplane called the
Spirit of st. Louis. He too
kept a log. Lindbergh needed
331a hours to reach Paris.

there is a pear" shape, super

lard-the geometric form of the
earth tells only part of the
story. Its dynamic form is i'm
portant, too.
The dynamic form takes into
account mot only the earth's
shape, size and mass distribu-

Woodland said. Information
gained from satellites comes
from observation of effects OF
the earth's gravitational field
he explained.
"The dynamic model Of
the earth suggests that the
earth has an ellintical cross
section at the equator, a bulge
in the southern hemisphere, anc
an axial length from the
equator through the North Pole
longer than that through the
South Pole" DR.. Woodland
pointed out.
OverSimplified slightly, this
means that the earth isn't

Add this to the long list of

The world isn't round-and we
are only now beginning to learn
how little we really know about

This is the essence of a

George P. Woodland on the
Voice Of Americas Space
Science Forum. The 10th in a
series. the lecture by the noted
Wisconsin geophysicist deals
with the httle-known but grow

It took earth satellites to
show us the extent of our
ignorance about the earth's
form, DR.. Woodland explained.
Men have known" that the
earth was round since about
300 BIC, and since the time of
Sir Isaac Newton in the 18th
Century they have known
that it has a flattened tomato
