The Discovery* of Helium in Natural Gas*

""Helium is no longer a rare element" . . McFarland and chemistry department colleague Hamilton P. Cady began removing the nitrogen from the gas sample by applying a spark discharge with oxygen over an alkaline solution. Cady and McFarland found the procedure tedious and time consuming. "While it was going on," Cady said, "we decided to take advantage of [Sir James] Dewar's recently published discovery that coconut charcoal would adsorb all gases [in the atmosphere] except helium, hydrogen, and neon very completely at the temperature of boiling liquid air" (-310� F). . After makin" [1]

[0901.0773] Discovery* of two distinct red clumps in NGC419: a rare snapshot of a cluster at the onset of degeneracy*

"All papers Titles Authors Abstracts Full text Help pages --> Change to browse by: Discovery of two distinct red clumps in NGC419: a rare snapshot of a cluster at the onset of degeneracy Colour-magnitude diagrams (CMD) of the SMC star cluster NGC419, derived from HST/ACS data, reveal a well-delineated secondary clump located below the classical compact red clump typical of intermediate-age populations. We demonstrate that this feature belongs to the cluster itself, rather than to the underlying SMC field. Then, we use synthetic CMDs to show that it corresponds very well to the secondary clump predicted to appear as a result of He-ignition in stars just massive enough to avoid electron-degeneracy settling in their H-exhausted cores. The main red clump instead is made of the slightly less massive stars which passed through electron-degeneracy and ignited He at the tip of the RGB. In other words, NGC419 is the rare snapshot of a cluster while un" [3]

Breaking News for sky aficionados: Rare joint comet discovery* by a spacecraft - and an amateur astronomer*

"There was another big bolide in Northern Ireland (more, more and more coverage) and one in Virginia which caused a lot of confusion at first (more, more, more, more, more [earlier], more, more [earlier], more and more). The recovery of the (only one!) meteorite from the baltic bolide is recounted by the discoverer himself who also explained at a German meteor meeting how he found the shattered specimen in the grass and what it was like. At the same meeting a microbarometric signal from the exploding bolide was also shown, recorded with a machine like this - which is enormously sensitive! Yet another "dimension" of amateur astronomy has thus opened up.In other news The solar activity remains low, making the current minimum rather deep, with no end in sight." [10]

"The researchers focused on a bright green one, found poking through the fossilized leather. . Powerful X-rays, as well as scanning electron microscope analysis, revealed that the stone was chrysocolla, or hydrated copper silica, according to the paper that will be published in the March issue of the Journal of Archaeological Science. To this day, chrysocolla is valued as an ornamental stone that, in its bluer forms, is sometimes confused with turquoise. . Bianucci said malachite was a more common green mineral in early Egypt, since chrysocolla ores were limited to very few in the Sinai and the Eastern Egyptian Desert. Chrysocoll" [11]

Deadly Dog Attack Described as Rare: Discovery* News*

"Authorities believe Sherry Schweder went for an evening walk near her home on Friday, perhaps looking for one of her own dogs that had been missing for about a month. . At some point, Schweder was attacked. Preliminary autopsy results showed she died from animal bites. .
