STS067-724A-090 - STS-067 - Earth observations taken from shuttle orbiter Endeavour during STS-67 mission

description

Summary

The original finding aid described this as:

Description: Earth observation views taken from shuttle orbiter Endeavour during STS-67 mission. In the sunglint we can see the southward moving current moving past the archipelago. The current flow is visible in the Space Shuttle photography because of surface oils, both biological and man-introduced. The oils are carried by the currents and thus take the form of the flow. Oils smooth out the surface capillary waves and create a smoother surface. The smoother surfaces reflect more sunlight and appear brighter. The darker areas are due to winds ruffling the sea suface resulting in less sunlight being reflected. Volcano erupting on Barren Island.

Studying why fruits taste that way. E.K. Nelson of the Department of Agriculture is shown making tests with an apparatus which the Department imported from Germany for the purpose of studying the essential oils or "flavor-giving" content of fruits and vegetables. At present chemists are acquainted with the essential oils of only a few fruits, such as some of the citrus group. The apparatus is a vacuum distill which permits the distillation of liquids at temperatures much lower than usual by reducing the pressure, 1/10/31
