Curiosity Rover not found on the red planet methane. According to specialists NASA, the presence of this gas would be proof that there are living organisms.

Mars is on the border of the so-called "zone of life" - climatic conditions on the planet is much tighter earth, but still acceptable for organic life forms. In summer on the equator in the afternoon the temperature reaches + 20 C, long winter it can drop below minus 140 C is twice colder most fierce winter in Antarctica.

The last form of life on Earth will fall through to 2.8 billion years old, burnt down a dying Sun is a red giant. In about a billion years before that, the only living things on the planet will remain single-celled organisms, hiding in isolated hot and salty waters.

June 6, stereo cameras with high resolution spacecraft Mars Express again staring at the plain of Argir - this time, however, the mountains of the Spirits that 380 km North-East from the crater of a hook. This is the Northern border of Argiri - one of the largest impact craters of the red planet.

According to scientists, the project Cluster" will help to make first three-dimensional map of the Earth's magnetic field It is the Alliance of four satellites, scanning parameters of the magnetosphere, revealed huge, up to 40 thousand kilometers, vortices at the magnetopause. And apparatus Cluster" found many other interesting things - for example, the zero point of our magnetosphere.

Curiosity Rover completed the first detailed x-ray structure analysis of Martian sand and determined that he will be like volcanic soil, which can be found in places such as, for example, shield volcano Mauna Kea in Hawaii.

Zurab mikvabia, Director of the Institute of experimental pathology and therapy, which supplied monkeys for experiments in space, says: "We plan to resume the flight program monkeys to Mars". Already go preliminary talks on this issue with the Academy of Astronautics.

In the American state of new Mexico will be conducted the experiment on the cooling of the atmosphere of sulphate aerosols. Such aerosols emitted by volcanoes erupted. They reflect solar radiation and contribute to the cooling of the Earth's atmosphere.

Research group of scientists from Germany have proved that in the memory of mankind once happened very fast inversion of the magnetic poles of the Earth. It happened approximately 41 thousand years ago. And no catastrophe on the planet at this moment deslocados, although magnetic security, according to calculations, fell in twenty or thirty times.

May be currently on Mars and there is no life, but there could be preserved fragments of DNA, according to researcher Craig Venter, previously engaged in decoding the human genome and by creating the world's first synthetic cells. He believes that it is possible to artificially synthesize Martian organisms on the basis of data from the robot.

Many years have passed since that day, as astronaut Neil Armstrong saw on the moon alien ships. And although later he did was justified in saying that he was misunderstood, but the word is not a Sparrow...

In the Solar system's four gas giants (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune), which, according to scientists, there used to be much closer to the Sun than it is now. David Nesvorny from Southwest research Institute (USA) and Alessandro Morbidelli from the Observatory of the Cote d'azur (France) believe that the giants were more than five or six.

Scary, but the fact is that the Arctic ocean floor littered with plastic and other waste.

Seasonal streams, traces of which were observed on Mars last year, really could consist of liquid water.

Now the basic theory of the evolution of the Solar system is a model of nice. It is expected that after the dispersion of the original protoplanetary disk four giants - Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune turned on nearly circular orbits at a distance of 5.5-17. that is from the Sun, and not in 5-30 as now. Beyond the orbit extreme of these planets were large dense disk of stone and ice planetesimals. And he stretched up to 35. that is from the Sun, beyond the current orbit of Neptune.
