The Dirigible Ballon and the Little World Mystery
Yale graduate John Bennett recounts a California ranch ascent with scientists who built an Isinglass aluminum balloon heated by an electric motor. They rise above Sierra peaks, glimpse a blue gray sky map, and land on a tiny planet Nebula housing an alternate Earth with 80 degree cold outer air and lush verdure. The group measures atmosphere, tests gravity, and returns after circumnavigating the miniature world in 37 minutes, concluding with a telescope sighting of a hidden companion planet.
