The majority of this article will be testimony from the real experts, the people who were there---there at the huge telescopes and especially there in those vast and previously mysterious Polar regions.
Based upon his studies of the planetary nebula through observatory photographs, Gardner was able to surmise that the very thick shell of the Earth is approximately 800 miles thick, the Polar Openings 1400 miles across, and the gravitationally-suspended Central Sun (the incandescent orb locked by gravity in the exact planetary center) some 600 miles diameter.
