Zeus's Little Secret, Or Galileo and Clarke's Europan Vacation
At first glance, it seems obvious that Earth is the only locale in our solar system that harbors life. But is this really true? In the film version of "2001: A Space Odyssey" there was something afoot on the moons of Jupiter. Thanks to images from the Galileo spacecraft, it now appears that this might be true. The moon Europa may just be home to a vast ocean of liquid water. Was Clarke right all along?

Book Review: Longitude
Self-educated clockmaker John Harrison stood up against huge opposition when he set his eyes on the £20,000 prize offered by Parliament and began to look for longitude. He would labor for forty-odd years against the establishment before succeeding, but when he did, he proved himself more of a genius than the greatest scientists of his generation. Dava Sobel's <U>Longitude</U> tells the story.
