Earth - Apollo 16

Earth - Apollo 16

Full Earth showing North America and the Pacific Ocean

Apollo 16 view of the Earth taken with a hand-held Hasselblad camera about an hour and a half after translunar injection on 16 April, 1972. Most of the United States is visible at right center, including Lake Michigan and Lake Superior and Florida. Mexico and part of Central America are also visible. The slightly different shade of blue below Florida is the Bahama Banks. The Earth is 12,740 km in diameter and north is at roughly 1:00. (Apollo 16, AS16-118-18885)

Earth - Apollo 16
Ralph,

The Apollo 6 picture was nice, but I don't think that the open, circular area in the upper left is the opening to the HE. Jan Lamprecht explains that it is a circular wind pattern which is caused by the Aleutian Islands and the Kamchatka Penninsula.

I am not sure where the opening is, but I think it would be nice to fly over this area anyway. I also was able to get some more photos of Ellsmere if anyone wants them. I sent the Apollo 16 photo because some may like to get a larger print of it if they click on it. I know its the same photo that is in Jan's book. My email seems to have caught some of the virus. It started around 12-14-00 on a message I received from you. Then I started receiving mutiples of messages. They give another reason for the counterclockwise cloud formation in the northern hemisphere. It was listed on some of the pictures for aural displays I sent. It said even storms in the north are counterclockwise where in the south everone is clockwise. From: Ralph

Ralph,

Definitely send more of Ellesmere. I would like to see what you have come up with.

That circular area in the Apollo 16 image is right off the coast of Alaska.

I do Mac Caffee everyday now- there are too many viruses going around.

Dean: The virus I got was probably from the Edith Grant email, but my Norton seems to have blocked it and I deleted all the multiples. There is a little on Ellsmere on site Even in Frigid North, Hints of Warmer Temperatures There are a couple photos and it tells of four months of darkness which started on Sat. Oct. 14, 2000. The sun it says will reappear on March 1, so if Jan goes up there in April it will be just in time. I wonder what the Aurora displays are like there in the night season? It says that elderly residents of Nunavut, which must be near Ellsmere, are alarmed at seeing southern species in the area-- wolverines,grizzly bears,robins and even a swan. The Canadian listening post,Alert is just 25 miles north of Ellsmere Park. The photos I mentioned were on another site. It showed some of the mountains and air bases and others that were good pictures. I'll see if I can find those again. From: Ralph Also I have been trying to find Gov. sites with the Essa photos like Essa 7 Plate 6 in Jan's book, but so far I haven't found them only the Apollo 16 photos. That small white dot surrounded by black in the center of the circle photo I sent you has me perplexed thats why I think it would be nice to fly over, but it may be restricted since a base is so close. They also have flights to the North Pole and ski trips.

You all probably know by now that the Polar ice has melted quite a bit in recent decades. Actually, in the body of Arctic evidence assembled by Gardner, there is a lot of mention of open polar seas. I'll send a thing or two tomorrow in that regard, just to give you a first taste or remind you.

It has been suggested that volcanic activity along the submerged mid-Atlantic ridge, which goes right through the Arctic basic, is responible, and has been responsible, for this activity. But remember that there have TYPICALLY been reports by Arctic explorers of warm winds from the North, and not only in summer. This type of evidence suggests that there is a warmer interior from which the warmer air emanates.

The best explanation is the one which can explain all the phenomena, although it is possible that various sources of warmth combine to exert their influence, not that one source denies the existence of another.

It is not reasonable to believe that warmer air originates from the equatorial zone and then makes its way to the polar area where it is then deposited. Even in the equatorial regions, the warm air which rises cools so much that, at higher elevations, the air becomes frigi, what to speak of its temperature by the time it would have traveled in the stratosphere all the way to the Arctic.

Here is a piece from Gardner's book on warm, Northern winds:

By the beginning of 1894, Nansen was between 79 and 80 degrees north, not making very rapid progress as they were shut in by the ice and dependent on the drift. And then Nansen noticed that whenever the wind blew from the north the temperature rose considerably. He says

"It is curious that there is almost alwavs a rise of the thermometer with these stronger winds . . . . A south wind of less velocity generally lowers the temperature, and a moderate north wind raises it. Payer's explanation of this raising of the temperature by strong winds is that the wind is warmed by passing over large openings in the ice. This can hardlv be correct, at any rate in our case, for we have few or no openings."

Nansen's own idea was that the heat was caused by winds from the higher reaches of the atmosphere where it had not been cooled by contact with the ice. But in trying to explain the high temperatures in this way he forgot that it was only the north winds which raised the temperatures and not the south winds. And where would the higher air get its heat from in any case? The heat must come from a definite source and in the far north the only possible source is the one which we have pointed out.

Hi all,

Take a good look at the picture below. The usual explanation for the hair standing out like you see on this picture is that like charges are repelling each other. Nothing wrong with that explanation, but why does the lower parts of her hair bend slightly upward? Is it because as Cater claims that negative charge are repelled by gravity? What do you think? Can the bending upwards be explained by repelling duo to like charge only?

Hey,

She's pretty!
