'NO LIFE ON VENUS’
Report By U.S. Astronomer (N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) NEW YORK, May 28. New observations of Venus have found that the planet is devoid of water and therefore of life, a leading American astronomer said yesterday, the “New York Times" news service said. “We now know that Venus is a dead planet,” said Dr. Gerard P. Kuiper, the director of the lunar and planetary laboratory at the University of Arizona. “Astronomical literature is full of references to water clouds and ice crystals,” Dr. Kuiper said. “These two things are definitely wrong. The complete absence of water means that the chemistry of Venus Is totally different from the chemishy here."
