less helium and less lightning findings that may force a re thinking of the nature of the plan et and how it formed Scientists at Ames Re search Center disclosed the find ings Monday their release was de layed more than a month by the budget impasse on Capitol Hill The probe released by the Gali leo spacecraft parachuted into the banded shrouded atmos phere in December relaying a 57 minute weather report before it vaporized in the extreme heat and pressure i Scientists said the probe found wind up to 330 mph compared with an expected 220 mph and extremely intense turbulence probably caused by heat escaping from deep inside the planet scien tist Richard Young said probe also discovered an intense new radiation belt ap proximately 31000 miles above cloud tops and a veritable absence of Young

expected levels of helium neon and elements like carbon ox ygen and sulfur Most scientists believe that the solar system evolved from a pri mordial cloud of dust and gas In the past many believed
