	Songs of Distant Earth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The story is centred on a rendezvous between human beings far in the future, after the destruction of the Earth, on the oceanic planet of Thalassa.
		In the story, humans respond to the prospect of unavoidable doom by launching a series of robot colony ships into space, to continue Earth life after the destruction of the homeworld (caused by the Sun becoming a nova).
		In the novel, Clarke mentions the solar neutrino problem (the fact that the Sun seems to emit fewer neutrinos than it should), and then the scientists in the future Earth are said to discover that the problem lies in an instability of the Sun, which will lead to its explosion into a nova.

		The Two-Horned Beast is consequently an imperial dominion; for its voice was that of a dragon—“he spake as a dragon.” The Two-Horned Imperiality is terrene, not maritime in its origin.
		The Dragon, the symbol of the Imperial Roman Majesty before the beasts of the earth and the sea had existence, having surrendered to the Sea-Beast “his power, and his seat, and an extensive jurisdiction,” was then restricted to that part of the Roman territory now included in the Turkish empire.
		This was the imperial, the Emperor Domitian being the reigning Prince.

		The Earth's atmosphere is an extremely thin sheet of air extending from the surface of the Earth to the edge of space, about 60 miles above the surface of the Earth.
		If the Earth were the size of a basketball, a tightly held pillowcase would represent the thickness of the atmosphere.

		The Imperial Valley has exceeded federal health standards for airborne particulates hundreds of times since the early 1990s, according to EPA estimates, with pollution levels sometimes reaching more than double the allowed amount.
		Nonetheless, the EPA allowed Imperial County to avoid stronger Clean Air Act requirements in 2001 due to county arguments that the region's violations were caused by cross-border pollution from Mexico.
		The Imperial Valley has one of the highest childhood asthma rates in the state, and its death rate from respiratory diseases has at times been more than double that of the rest of California as a whole, according to the state's Department of Health Services.

		March 14 - Scientists from Imperial College, London, have produced the first direct observational evidence that the earth’s greenhouse effect increased between 1970 and 1997.
		However the Imperial team reached their conclusions after analysing data collected by two different earth-orbiting spacecraft, in 1970 and 1997.
		Although the two experiments were flown on separate spacecraft, 27 years apart, the team showed that their comparison of outgoing infrared long-wave radiation spectra is valid.
