Due to complications in our company, we have been forced to stop blog updates .This
has been due to the huge amount of information we seek and edited for
presentation , even to the more than 200 post in one month.During
this flood of information summer , while we were immersed in a soon to
be the new application , we were completely overwhelmed, and we had to
stop maintaining the blog , without forgetting , of course.
And
thanking your wait , understanding and loyalty , we promise an early
return on this blog, but above all, a total facelift in the application,
which , we assure you , you will find a lot more juicy and worthy of
your money , and of course of our endless hours of sacrifice in order to give back to what we were, the first to provide spatial information individually.We appeal to your understanding , and we assure you a prompt return , with a completely new , overflowing .

Extraterrestrial life in the atmosphere?
British scientists claim to have found alien life in the atmosphere.
Sheffield University researchers say they have found alien life forms in the atmosphere of our planet after analyzing the data obtained by a balloon sent into the stratosphere.
Milton Wainwright, Department of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology and director of the work, is convinced that the microorganisms found in the stratosphere are not of our planet. The discovery was made at the peak of the Perseids, at an altitude of 16.7 miles.
"Most people will argue that these biological particles must, of necessity, have moved into the stratosphere from Earth, but it is known that the particle size of which we have found can not rise from the ground to heights, for example, of 27 km (16.7 miles). The only exception might be caused by a violent volcanic eruption (to push up those particles), but none of that has happened during the three years that we have been collecting samples. "
"In the absence of a mechanism to explain how these particles can be transported from here to the stratosphere, the researcher only thing we can do is conclude that these biological entities originated in space. Therefore, our findings are that life is continually reaching Earth from space, that life is not restricted only to our planet and it is virtually certain that it did not originate here. "
The extraordinary results of this research are published in the Journal of Cosmology.

98W (Northwestern Pacific Ocean)
NASA's TRMM satellite data revealed heavy rainfall and banding of thunderstorms around the southern quadrant of System 98W in the northwestern Pacific near Guam and the Marianas Islands.
Libya's Al Jawf oasis
Deep in the Sahara Desert, the Al Jawf oasis in southeastern Libya is pictured in this image from Japan's ALOS satellite. The city can be seen in in the upper left corner, while large, irrigated agricultural plots appear like Braille across the image.
Between the city and the plots we can see the two parallel runways of the Kufra Airport. The agricultural plots reach up to a kilometre in diameter.
Their circular shapes were created by a central-pivot irrigation system, where a long water pipe rotates around a well at the centre of each plot. Since the area receives virtually no rainfall, fossil water is pumped from deep underground for irrigation.

So what can a planetary rover do with a year on Mars?
All NASA's Curiosity rover did was beam back over 190 gigabits of data, more than 36-thousand images and zap 75-thousand-plus laser shots at science targets … and oh by the way, it also completed the mission's main science goal by finding evidence that life was possible on Mars in the past.
The agency celebrated the one year anniversary of Curiosity's landing on Mars with live events from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory -- featuring rover team members.
