Summary

Description
English: Emblem of the International Geophysical Year 1957-1958.

This symbol attempts to suggest the scope of IGY. For example, the earth is partly light, partly dark – suggesting solar-terrestrial relationships; a satellite and its orbit indicate IGY interests in the physics of the high atmosphere; and the orientation of the earth, showing the South Pole, not only implies the conduct of an unprecedented IGY research effort in that region but may suggest IGY coverage of other regions ordinarily not the subject of extensive geophysical study.

Deutsch: Logo vom Internationalen Geophysikalischen Jahr 1957-1958

Dieses Symbol soll den Umfang des IGJ verdeutlichen. So ist beispielsweise die Erde teilweise hell, teilweise dunkel – was auf die Beziehungen zwischen Sonne und Erde hindeutet; ein Satellit und seine Umlaufbahn stehen für das Augenmerk auf die Physik der oberen Atmosphäre; und die Ausrichtung der Erde mit dem Südpol im Fokus deutet nicht nur auf die Durchführung einer beispiellosen Forschungsinitiative in dieser Region hin, sondern impliziert auch, dass das IGJ andere Regionen abdeckt, die normalerweise nicht Gegenstand umfangreicher geophysikalischer Untersuchungen sind.
