equator could not adhere together, and a• breach caused a portion to be fractured,wliich portion gradually separated from theparent planet. So, apparently, in the caseof our cousin-planet Jupiter, whose rota-tional velocity at its surface is as great asours used to be, there is at present a phe-nomenon which suggests an epoch in theevolution of moon-making. That puzzlingobject on the surface, known as the t.reatRed Spot, is not a fixture of the Surface, orwe miglu regard it ;)urcly as a volcanic ventemitting hot vapors. Its constituent proper-ties have never been ascertained. ... Itmoves round with the planets axial rotation.This is especially notewortliy from thefact that theory tells us thai our moon, inits early stages of evolution, was carriedround with the earths axial motion, allthe while just grazing the surface, and thatits distance therefrom increased throughcountless ages, and is increasing. The in-ference denotes a Jovian moon in embryo. 678 Is Jupiter Launchirif^ a Moon?

The Great Red Spot on Jupiters surface is not a fixture of the surface. Itmoves around. This is noteworthy from the fact that theory tells us thatour moon, in its early stages of evolution, was carried round with the earthsaxial motion, all the while just grazing the surface, its distance therefrom increas-ing through countless ages.
