- Widespread 'twilight zone' detected around clouds
05-04-2007 · EurekAlert!
There is something new under the sun that could complicate scientists' efforts to get a fix on how much the world will warm in the future. In addition to greenhouse gases, clouds, and aerosol particles that influence the temperature of the atmosphere, a new ingredient has been discovered: an extensive and previously unseen "twilight zone" of particles that represents a gradual transition from cloud droplets to dry particles.

- In search for water on Mars, clues from Antarctica
12-09-2007 · EurekAlert!
Scientists have gathered more evidence that suggests flowing water on Mars -- by comparing images of the red planet to an otherworldly landscape on Earth. In recent years, scientists have examined images of several sites on Mars where water appears to have flowed to the surface and left behind a trail of sediment. Those sites closely resemble places where water flows today in the McMurdo Dry Valleys in Antarctica , the new study has found.
