A new calculation on climate change has warned of a greater increase in temperature than expected in less than 100 years. The key to this new research published recently in the journal Nature lies in the role of clouds in global warming, and the impact of increased atmospheric CO2 on global warming has been studied for decades. However, there are still many unknowns and many factors to analyze.
The Hubble telescope does not stop providing information about the history of the universe. In one of his latest images, he has obtained the best photo of some of the most distant and oldest galaxies, some 12,000 million light years away, thanks to the fact that the Abell 2744 cluster or 'Pandora cluster' has functioned as a kind of natural telescope gigantic.
An international team of astronomers has just discovered a very Earth-like planet orbiting a red dwarf star about 200 light-years from us. According to scientific calculations, it has a weight very similar to that of the Earth, but its diameter is 60% greater, which indicates that it must have a very thick gaseous atmosphere.
If you have toasted with a glass of cava this Christmas you probably have not noticed it, but its quality depends, in part, on the persistence of the famous Azores anticyclone. This has been verified by a group of researchers from the University of Malaga, who have compared the oscillations of the North Atlantic with the quality of sparkling wines.
During the first days of each year, one of the most spectacular astronomical events occurs in the Northern Hemisphere, the Quadrantid Meteor Shower. This year 2014 will also be especially bright thanks to the fact that the Moon is in its new phase and the visualization of the comet remains will not be disturbed by its light.
A new study led by a Spanish researcher from the University of Bristol has revealed the importance of the El Niño meteorological phenomenon for the evaporation of water on the continents. The water cycle begins in the oceans, where it evaporates and moves in the form of clouds to the continents where it finally precipitates. Part of this rain recharges our aquifers and is used by animals and plants, while the remaining part returns to the sea through rivers.
Given the imminent arrival of 2014, the two most prestigious scientific journals in the world, Nature and Science, have produced compilations of the most relevant discoveries and researchers of 2013.
The theory of human evolution has once again seen its foundations shake with the publication in the journal Nature of the analysis of the genome of Homo Neanderthal, whose genetic mix indicates that this species mated with our direct ancestors 50,000 years ago.
Danni Büchner is invited to Sam Dylan's Halloween party. But the "Goodbye Germany" emigrant has no desire for many other party guests. And find clear words.
