Atlantic Trivia
Among the novels by Naguib Mahfouz—the first writer in Arabic to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature—is Adrift on what 4,100-mile river?
And by the way, did you know that the ionosphere thickens and thins on a daily basis? The ionization of the atmosphere’s gases is caused by solar radiation, so naturally, once it’s night (no sun!), the particles lose all that electromagnetic excitement and regroup to return to their un-ionized state. That results in a much thinner, less dense ionosphere, at least until the next dawn.
Speaking of—until tomorrow!
