Scientists reported that enhanced versions of the pictures taken from the Voyager 2 spacecraft reveal what look like three gigantic ice-gushing volcanoes on Neptune's frozen Moon Triton. (NY Times, Feb 18/92; AP, Feb 14/92)
Scientists working in Antarctica were seeking evidence of radiation from space. In one project, directed by Dr. Douglas M. Lowder of the University of California at Berkeley, a hot water jet drilled two holes 2,600 feet deep in the ice to test the possibility of detecting the elusive particles called neutrinos that after traveling through space, traverse the entire Earth to emerge at the pole. Scientists hope scanners in a series of such holes will be able to identify the sources of neutrinos in the Arctic sky. (NY Times, Feb 18/92)
