Kearsley | I think it was Hal Clement who wrote a story about an extremely low-pressure world on which that native animals had sensory organs that were effectively a combination of eyes and noses--noses because they reacted to molecules in the "air" (which was really a lab-grade vacuum), and eyes because the long mean free path meant that scents could be focused through a pinhole camera to form an image of whatever was emitting them! | |
