Those delicate gases aren't trapped as solids within ice unless temperatures are less than 30 degrees Celsius above absolute zero, frigid conditions that only existed within the early solar system at distances well beyond Neptune's current orbit.
Each disrupts the delicate barrier between gas and blood, allowing erythrocytes to breech their vascular confines and migrate into the interstitium and airspaces.
Instead of the smooth structure that might be expected of a gas, a delicate tracery of luminous filaments can be detected down to the smallest scale that can be resolved.
(1974) beautifully contrasts a water tower looming in the nighttime gloom with the delicate bright lights at the gas pumps and gas station.
Here are stars packed like golden sand, gas combed in delicate blue threads, piled into burgundy thunderheads and carved into sinuous rilles and ribbons, and galaxies clotted with star clusters dancing like spiders on the ceiling.
The blast continues to light up filaments of gas in surprisingly delicate and gently rolling sheets, according to research presented here last week at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society.
Nevertheless, astronomers hoped to watch how Triton's wreath of nitrogen gas--which exists in delicate balance with the frost on its surface--changes over time.
This can be a delicate phase given the potential for an uncontrolled gas release that could lead to what is called a blowout.
In that case, the delicate lungs are likely to rupture as the gases within them expand.
Underwater, both powerful currents and mudslides play havoc with delicate equipment and the pipelines that bring oil and gas back to shore.
Industry executives point out that just three countries -- Iran, Qatar and Russia -- hold more than half of the world's natural gas reserves, inevitably focusing attention on the delicate interplay between politics and commerce in these places.
