Some of the information appears to be of interest: 1) the results of observa- tions made with the meniscoun telescope (photoprint of the tele- scope on p. 6 with not other details given) of D. D. Maksutov, con- structed by B. K. Ioannisiani and installed in 1950 at an 1500 m. altitude in the Alma-Ata Mountain astro-physical observatory, which is claimed to detect stars with a luminosity 1 million times smaller V3 Proiskhczhdeniye i razvitiye nebesnykh tel AID 384 - I po sovremennym dannym than those visible to the naked eye (p. 25). Pictures were taken of nebulae, in the red Fz line and with a yellow filter. 2) Academi- cian G. A. Shayn and V. F. Gaze, of the Crimean astro-physical ob- servatory, using special very sensitive photoplates with a red filter, isolated the emission of the red hydrogen line k, and this made possible for G. A. Shayn to discover many new gas and dust nebulae (see "Izvestiya Krymskoy Astrofizicheskoy Observatorii'll and also to establish some new structural properties of known galaxies (pp. 24-25). 20 photoplates, graphs and diagrams are given in the book, some of them deserve attention. The book Is well written and descripe8 the gaseous and dust theory. (without giving credit to von Weizsacker, G. P. Kuipe.r, D. ter Haar) of the origin and development of the Universe, disregarding the new nuclear reaction theory. No references are made to foreign scientists.

PERIODICAL: Astronomicheskii Zhurnal, 1959., Vol-34, No.1, pp.105-119. ABSTRACT: An attempt is made to collect together known geological and astronomical facts relating to the early thermal history of the Earth. The continents consist, in the main, of granite, and the origin of the latter must be considered first. It appears that the only PO Bsible explanation is that the granite crystallised out 'qf,hotmagma. This should take place at temperatures in excess of 10000. -The problem is -considered in ref a., (2. The origin. Of -the 'continents must also be consideried: in. connection with the general problem of the formation of the Earth as awhole.,_-~The problem.iB considered in refs..0 10) but -no unique:conc-lusion has been reached. The problem of the evolution of the Rarthl.s atmoST)here and the formation of oceanic basins must also be 6onsiZLered in connection with the earliest thermal hist2 of the Earth. , The -atmosphere has ~a . secondary origin. As is noimoxygen was -originally produced by 'green plants and by pl$xnkton in the oceans. Nitrogen originated partly from plants but mainly in the interior of the Earth. Of the original atmosphere. only an insignificant, admixture of inert gases The water of the oceans is supposed to have originated in the interior of the. Earth a~ the latter was cooling down. Thus, for exa .mplel.during a volcanic eruption a great amount of water is emitted, and this later returns as rain. It has been shown that mg,gma is Capable of containing up j;o 10% of water vapour (by yite) under a suitably high pressure* However, a similar process would be possible with an originally cool th Ear which was gradually warmed up through radioactive disintegrations. Thus, the existence of the oceans is a Fst-Or-TOf -the Earth. (Cont.) strong argument in support of the hypothesis of an original 1y hot surface of oU37 ]planet. (12 - 14). 'Deep furrows, valleys, and mountains should also have a direct relation to thethermal history of the Earth. They exist at the bottom of the oceans, in addition to the great canyons. These Canyons can be assumed to have been caused by gigantic underwater currents which were caused by the collapse of continental masses in the different periods in the Earth's history,, E.G. at the end of the glacial periods, during a rapid melting of ice, or during earthquakes. The effect of great convective currents under the Earth's crust is considered by Mellard (19). (See also refs. 15-18). The distribution of radioactive elements is of interest from the point of view.of the evolution of the globe.. The main radioactive elements (Uranium and Thorium) ar trated in th e donoen- e upper~4yers.of_the Earth. Goldschmidt (21) considers that the 43LtOms Of uranium and thorium are too bulky to enter into' sili - Cate lattices during the process of crystallisation. Thus; as the internal parts of the Earth _~-the began to cool down,- atoms Of uranium and thorium were Squeezed out" in the out-ward direction. This would e=lain 4-1- Z- -4-V.-%~._A__- ___: - _ ___ , .- The early thermal history of th-e-Earth~.-(Gan-t----) produced when a dispersed medium contracts to a smaller volume (potential energy transformed into kinetic energy); (ii) Radioactive disintegration; (iii) Transformation of chemical energy into heat (refs. 33-34); (iv) The differen- tiation of the terrestrial matter according to its density may have some effect on the thermal regime of the Globe. One can easily show that, even if the Earth was formed in a single gravitational condensation, enough energy must have been produced to bring it into a molten state. In such, an incandescent wtss convection currents are inevitably produced and lead to a sufficiently rapid cooling. As was shown aboye, radioactive elements are brought to the surfqce during this process.,'and so their influence on the thermal state of the Earth become minimal. The origin o:C the Earth is considered to be not in a quasi-meteoric dust-cloud captured by the Sun from a hypothetical dust nebula, but in a medium consisting of both gas and dust, which surrounded the original Sun and has a chemical structure identical.with it (refs.35-4i). Spitzer s theory of the differences between blars and the Earth K42) are summarised. It is thought that the absence of water on Mars is.probably a result of volcanic eruptions which occurred after the complete cooling down of this planet. 43 references, 20 of which are Russian.

Inform. byul., 1958, Nr 5, PP 82 85 ABSTRACT: Prdliminary results of an expedition of,AS USSR into the Egyptian region of OAR_for observing the Zodiacal light according to the,IGY program are described. The expedition was working in October - November 1957 near Assuan. In addition to 5 Soviet scientists, 2s cientists of OAR participated in the expedition work. Photoelectric and visual observations of the Zodiacal light and of the daytime s1q were carried out. The observa- tions of the Zodiacal light made it possible to obtain iso- phots of. the evening and morning cones of the Zodiacal light, to measure the degree of polarization of the Zodiacal light for Card 1/2 various elongations of the Sun, to determine the possible SOV/169-59-5-5380 Expedition of-AS USSR.Into-the.Egyptian Region of OAR:for Observing the Zodiacal Light Intensification of emission lines of the night sky with the Zodiacal light. Thb daytime observations served to study the optical characteristics of the atmosphere, to determine the coefficient of transparency, the degree of Yolarization and the indicatrix of.dispersion of the day sky. A preliminary processing of the obtained material enables one to draw the conclusion that 'the Zodiacal light is almost entirely due to the scattering of solar radiation by dust particles In the interplanetary space. Electrons are not likely to have any essential. effect In the origination of the Zodiacal light. The day- time observations have shown that the optical characteristics of the atmosphere tire very steady in Egypt. N.B. Divari Card a/2 sov/30-58-6-16/45 AUTHOR: Fesenkov, V. G., Memberg Academy of Sciences, USSR TITLE: Investigati:ons on the Zodiacal Light (Iseledovaniya zodiakalt- nogo sveta) Provisional Results Obtained by the Observations of the Soviet Expedition in Egypt (Predvaritelonyye rezultaty nablyudeniy sovetskoy ekspeditaii v Yegipte) PERIODICAL: Vestnik Akaaemii nauk SSSR, 1958, Nr 6, pp. 89 - 91 (USSR) ABSTRACT: In September-1957, an expedition of the AS USSR was sent to Egypt in order to carry out investigations of the nature of the zodiacal light, as well as on the properties of the terrestrial atmosphere according to the work program of the International Geophysioal Year. The appearance of the zo- diaoal light depends on the inclination of the ecliptic with respect to the horizon. Egypto where in autilmn, before sun- rise, the zodiacal light can be seen almost vertically to the horizon under the Tropic of Cancer, - whereas completely different outlines can be seen in the shape of a largely in- q~ined branch in the eVening of the same days, in the West -is Card 1/3 especially fit for these observations. The Soviet-Expedition -----------I sov/3o-58-6-16/45 Investigations on the Zodiacal Light. Provisional Results Obtained by the Observations of the Soviet Expedition in Egypt has built az id tested special equipment for this purpose. The expedition oonsisted of 5 Soviet experts and 2 Egyptian specialists: the astrophysicist of the observatory, Kheluan Adli Asaadq as well as the physicist Emar Sayed from the Gelliopolis University (Cairo). The equipment of the expe- .dition was built up in the Libyan Desert, approximately 25 km south of Assuan, Altogether 30 000 measurements were carried out from October 16 to November 24- It was found that the matutinal branch of the zodiacal light corresponds compara- tively exactly to its real appearancep whereas its evening branch is considerably distorted by the influence of the zo- diacal twilight. Based -upon the results obtained by the ex.- pedition, it may be asserted that the zodiacal light is al- ,most exclusively produced by dust particles which penetrate continuously into the interplanetary space as a result of the disintegration of asteroids. Hitherto it has been assumed that a highly polarized dull light cannot be produced by cosmic dust, whereas the observations made by Ye. V. Pyaskovskaya-Fesenkova in the Libyan Desert have shown that Card 2/3 in case of a solar angle of 90 09 the degree of polarization
