Sun's Gravitational Pul!
Has Captured Yenus
Spaee raft Mariner 2
PASADENA. Calif. W —- The
sui.’,; gravitational pull has cap
tured the Venus-bound spacecraft
Mariner 2.
Hut there's no cause for alarm—
scientists planned it that way.
At a point 1.6 million miles out
in space Wednesday solar gravity
became strong enough to over
come tiie earth’s weakening pull
on the 4-17-pound spacecraft.
For the rest of its uncalculated
lifetime, Mariner 2 will he a tiny
satellite of the sun.
Scientific interest in it will cease
next Dec. 14 when the 12-foot
tall vehicle streaks past Venus at
a distance of 9,000 miles.
Its scientific instruments, de
signed to help determine whether
life could exist on the cloudy
planet, then will be turned off
and Mariner 2 will become another
hunk of space junk orbiting the
sun.
Scientists at Jet Propulsion
Laboratory, where Mariner 2 was
built, calculated both the dwind
ling earth gravity and the increas
ing solar gravity in figuring its
trajectory through space.
Although traveling away from
earth at about 6,000 miles an hour,
the spacecraft is whizzing along
on an orbit around the sun at ten
times that speed.

Tiiur.-d iy t; .t (lucre ,i sermon he
used the «xe-ression: "Prayer is
damned hard work.”
Ifo is th< Rev. Robert DeP.oard,
curate (if Huddersfield Parish
O ureh ‘Church 1 of England*. He
said he also told the congregation:
‘‘One needs to work like hell at
it to learn how to pray.”
The church's vicar, the Rev.
Anthony Hunter, said he was con
vinced his curate used the ex
pressions to emphasize a point —
and not to shock. But the expres
sions did shock at least one mem
ber of the church. Signing himself
“M. M. D.,” a parishioner wrote
to the parish magazine saying:
"I was startled and offended by
two expressions.”
The vicar said he planned to do
nothing more about the incident
and added he had complete faith
in his curate.
