Show Earth as Seen From Above The following is a quotation from Professor Piccnrd's story of hl-s trip to the stratoscope : "At an altitude of 10,000 meters the earth Is a mar- - velous sight. Yet It is terrifying, too. As we rose, the earth seemed at times like a huge disk, with nn upturned edge, rather than the globe it Is. The bluish mist of the atmosphere at-mosphere grew red-tinged and the earth seemed to go Into a copper-colored cloud, and then all but disappear disap-pear In a haze." |
