"They Glowed and Pulsed"


"He leaned against the door, looking down at his hands. They glowed and pulsed. He was willing to bet that he was no longer seeing in the 3700-to-7000 angstrom range, and wasn't particularly eager to think about the rest of his bodily functions."

Abstract
Not Available

Spotlight cuts through the fog to shine upon the stage. Massive feedback shakes the stacks: alien reverb Whompwhompwhompwhop sound of paranoia and black helicopters. High pitched squeals. Dinosaur bass-thumps footprints through Lunar dust. The guitarist raises his arm. The lead singer places his megaphone against the microphone.
"The name of this song... the name of this song is... the name of this song is "The Spectrophotometric Measurements of the Moon in the 1900-2750 Angstrom Range from the Zond 3 Automatic Space Probe!"

The crowd cheers. "Yeah! They're gonna 'Zond 3' it up!"
"Old School!"
