Show Earth as Seen From Above The following is a quotation from Professor Piccard's story of his trip to the stratoscope: "At an altitude of 10,000 meters the earth is a marvelous mar-velous sight. Yet it is terrifying, too. As we rose, the earth seemed at times like a huge disk, with an 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." |
