Moon likely captured by Earth says physicist at conference
Blacksburns AP Harold C. Urey, Nobel laureate, argues lunar studies and calculations favor a capture scenario for the moon after both bodies formed. He rejects Darwin’s tidal breakup and the double planet origins, noting the moon shares solar-like composition and that early bombardment produced lava plains and high peaks. More than 200 space scientists attend the conference.

Hog Prices Expected To Hold Firm In Virginia
The Virginia Department of Agriculture projects hog prices to stay firm for two to three weeks with a seasonal downturn likely by late August. Fall and winter markets should be strong despite gradual price declines, aided by good demand and higher regional prices around $19.65 in Virginia auctions. No. 2 hay prices rise as drying weather affects crops, with alfalfa at $25 to $30 and timothy mixtures $22 to $26 in Shenandoah Valley and Southwest Virginia.
