WEATHER BRINGS A DAILY MIRACLE EKTACHROMESBY NASA Finger of rain-soaked soil stabs a dry plain in oil-rich west Texas. A Gemini 4 photograph shows how thunderstorms had doused some areas, while not a trace fell nearby. To a sharp eye, the scene teems with life: Rectangles of worked land mark a patchwork of ranches, lower right and center; a highway links thriving Odessa and Midland, above center at right; and the Pecos River cuts across cotton-growing country at upper right. Shingles of cellular clouds, each so big that no photograph from earth or aircraft ever showed more than one, roof the western Pacific. 666
