When the dust unsettles
Article Abstract:
Two attempts to measure the isotopic composition of oxygen in the Sun from particles trapped in lunar soils give very different results. Oxygen is the third most abundant element in the Solar system and a principal constituent of the rocks, ices and atmospheres that make up the planets and measurements of matter from the solar wind have so far concentrated on elements such as the noble gases, nitrogen and carbon, which are not themselves significant components of minerals in lunar soil and oxygen is found in many minerals.

Net production of oxygen in the subtropical ocean
Article Abstract:
A new approach for calculating the net production of oxygen in the subtropical ocean regions is discussed. The oxygen content is found to rise because of the mixing events taking place throughout the year.
