Well find alien life in the next 20 years with our new, awesome telescopes says NASA
2014-07-15 16:16:04| Extremetech
In a public meeting with NASA's chief, the agency's top scientists have said that they expect to find alien life within the next 20 years. Unfortunately, for those hoping that Europa or Mars might harbor life, NASA is fairly confident that the discovery of extraterrestrials will probably be outside our Solar System rather than within it. But still, suffice it to say, the discovery of life of any kind outside of Earth's atmosphere would be massive news. Within 20 years, we could finally find out that we're not alone in the universe -- and, well, that would change everything.

Yale Environment 360: NASA Agriculture has increased global vegetative cover. On a global scale, the presence of people corresponds to more plant growth, according to an analysis of three decades of global vegetation greenness data from satellites. More than 20 percent of global vegetation change can be attributed to human activities, such as agriculture, nitrogen fertilization, and irrigation, rather than climate change, researchers report in the journal Remote Sensing. The findings suggest that global climate change...

NASA scrubs launch of global warming satellite
2014-07-01 13:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: The planned launch of a rocket carrying a NASA satellite designed to track global warming has been postponed. NASA writes in a tweet that the countdown was stopped at 46 seconds because of a failure in the launch pad water flow. A message left with NASA was not returned. The Delta 2 rocket was supposed to launch early Tuesday over Vandenberg Air Force Base. The rocket is the second try for NASA. In 2009, the space agency launched a replica satellite aboard a smaller and cheaper Taurus XL...
