Hole in the sun signals new cycle and Earth weather link
Scientists at Kitt Peak and Skylab observers report a hole in the sun's corona and first signs of a new 11 year cycle. Ground based McMath telescope observations suggest solar wind may affect weather six to seven days ahead. A sunspot in August indicates cycle transition with a peak around 1980 and decline by 1984.

Venus clouds may hold sulfuric acid droplets
Washington UPI report cites Dr. James B. Pollack of NASA's Alfies Research Center claiming Venus cloud tops consist of sulfuric acid droplets. He matched infrared spectra from Venus with lab-derived spectra, finding sulfuric acid uniquely consistent and noting acid content at least seven percent stronger than in car battery solutions.

Pioneer 10 clears radiation road to outer planets from Jupiter
Gateway to space opens as Pioneer 10 survives Jupiter radiation by a hair. NASA officials Kraemer and Fillius report intense belts near 81 000 miles from Jupiter caused instrument curtailment and data loss while confirming future missions can avoid worst belts and extend to Saturn Uranus and Neptune with Mariner adaptations.
