RMD98X8K–Planet Venus. the Venusian crater Golubkina, a 340 kilometre (20.4 miles) diameter impact crater, contains Magellan data mosaicked with a Soviet Venera 15/16 radar image of the same feature. The Magellan part of the image (right) reveals details of the geology of the crater such as the central peak, the inner terraced walls, and the extremely smooth floor of the crater. The smoothness of the floor may be due to pounding of volcanic lava flows in the crater floor. The rough, blocky morphology of the crater ejecta and the sharp terraced crater wall suggest that this feature is relatively young.

RMD96MCR–In 1822 the French appointed commission to finding the speed of sound in air. Two hills near Paris chosen for the experiment at Villejuif and Montlhery. On each hill a gun was discharged. Observers on the other hill, by noting the time of flash and time at which they heard report, calculated the speed to be 1,118.152 feet (340.8m) per second. Gay-Lussac, Humboldt and Bouvard at Montlhery; Arago, Mathieu and Prony were at Villejuif. From Robert Brown 'Science for All', London, c.1880
