Quote context

- But its temperature is close to 270 degrees below zero, and ice lies 15000 miles deep on its surface.

- Their nearest world was giant Jupiter, where there are titanic cliffs of lava and ice with hydrogen flaming at the tops, where the atmospheric pressure is terrible, thousands of pounds to the square-inch.

- They couldn't go there. Nor could they go to Mercury, nearest planet to the sun. It has no air, and the temperature at its equator is that of molten lead.

- It did not occur to mankind that a swift fate might be hanging over us or that from the blackness of outer space we were being scrutinized and studied...

- Until the time of our nearest approach to the orbit of Mars during a pleasant summer season...

- Is that a fireball or something?

- Boy, that's big!

- Maybe it's a comet.

- Boy, that had me scared.
