BASTROP (TEXAS) ADVERTISER. AUGUST 12. 1954
Mars Registers Great Hot And Cold Changes
give
Washington—Ifjimmer's heat
oppresses, consider for a moment
the daily chart#!' of temperature
on the planet Mars.
At noon, certain green-colored
areas on Mars bake at more than
8S degrees Fahrenheit, scientific
measurements from the earth
have shown. By twilight, how-
ever, temperatures drop to about
10 degrees, and by midnight, go
far below zero.
Karthbound weathermen, a
tronomers, physicists, and bi
olotfists this summer are hard at
work around the world confirm-
ing and collecting such detailed
fact* about Mars, Earth'.-, neigh
boring planet swung closer on
July 2 than it had been iri J3
yearn, within 40,000,000 miles,
raising scientists' hopes of find
ing new clues to a still-
unanswered question:
Does plant life, however primi
live in form, exist on Mar*? Are
'he green regions vegetation?
Spectrographs analysis of light
reflected from Mars shows far
less oxygen at the surface than
| exists at the top of Mt Evere>t
on the earth.
White Areas at Pole*
j Scientists wonder if Mars has
any water. White regions cap
ping the planet's north and
south poles lead some astrono
| liters to speculate whether they
are thin layers of snow, ice, or
hoarfrost, melting and refroez
ing in the changing Martian
1 seasons.
A coordinated round the-world
patrol by IK observatories,
organized by the International
Mars Committee, is attempting
to photograph the entire surface
of Mars every day during the
summer.
In addition to temperature
studies, meteorologists seek new-
data on such properties of the
Martian atmosphere as pressure
and density, formation and mo
j tion of clouds, and general cir
culation patterns.
From these studies much may
be learned that will contribute
to a better understanding of the
behavior of the earth's own
atmosphere, lit that sense, Mars
, in 1954 is serving as a weather
man's laboratory.

Mystery of Hlue Clouding
In Hloemfontein, South Africa,
a "Mars Expedition" sponsored
by the National Geographic Soc-
iety and Arizona's Lowell Obser-
vatory plays a leading part in
lyr>4' studies of the red planet
and its green markings.
One major goal of this expedi-
tion, led by Dr. E. C. Slipher
of Lowell, will be to probe un
solved mysteries of the Martian
atmosphere. What, for example
causes the "blue envelope" that
clouds the planet's surface on
pictures made w ith blue sensitive
photographic emulsions?
At rare times, particulariy
when the ea -th and Mars come
closest in their orbits, this blue
haze disappears. Then the feu
tures of Mars stand out even on
blue iitfht photographs. Scientists
do not know why, although they
suspect that the earth itself
may be affecting radiations from
the sun upon the Martian atmos-
phere.
If Mars does have haze,
clouds, and changing weather
above its surface, i> its atmos
pheric envelope capable of
supporting life as at is known ,
on earth?
Very little water vapor and
even less oxygen have been
found in the Martian "an."
