NASA satellites are capturing incredible images of some of our strangest clouds, which are increasing in frequency and extent.

In BBC News, Jonathan Amos quotes NASA scientist James Russell as saying, “These clouds are getting brighter with time, they’re seen more often and also they’re being seen at lower latitudes. These are things we don’t understand and they all suggest a possible connection to global change; and we need to understand that connection and what it means for the whole atmosphere.”

Amos quotes eteorologist Gary Thomas as saying, “There are rings in the clouds that appear quite frequently. They’re extremely variable. In just a few minutes, these holes are gone and others can appear. And some of these rings are huge?300-400 miles across.” read more

A huge orange triangle with its three lights, nicknamed the “Dorito,” was seen over England in early December. One person who saw it says, “It was weird because it wasn’t making any noise?We all saw this big thing with lights in the sky.”

The Dec. 11th edition of Britain?s Express & Star quotes another observer, who reported seeing three orange lights, as saying, “At first I thought it was three planes flying in formation but the lights were far too close together. I’m sure we’re not alone in the universe.”

NASA’s “Spirit” rover may have discovered life on Mars.

Because it has a broken wheel, the rover disturbed a patch of ground on Mars which shows evidence of a climate there in the past that would have been perfect for microbes. But are they still there? On earth, areas that look like this were created when hot, steamy water came into contact with volcanic rocks and are teeming with bacteria.

In BBC News, Jonathan Amos quotes NASA researcher Steve Squyres as saying, “We’re really excited about this.”
