bubbles in the atmosphere.On other planets with denser atmospheres,larger, more complex creatures can take to skies.The thick air could support them alofty,allowing bulky reptiles to fly and glide.This creature probably couldn't be able to fly very l...
One day these manned space missions may reach out even further to distant planets with alien atmospheres, atmospheres that may support their own life forms. Else where in our universe on distant planets, alien air may support extraterrestrial life. J...
This is a genuine iron meteorite, this is believed to have once been part of the core of a long dead planet or asteroid, and this was found right here in this strewn field, this remarkable little shapes, indentations on the surface are called thumbpr...
But the friction and heat wears away at the space rock, the hot air actually melts the metal surface, and often the collision with the atmosphere can have a shattering effect, splitting the meteorites along fissures. This is an actual meteorite, and...
Steven Jabs search for remaining fragments, using a custom-built metal detector rig. Meteorites will have iron in them, and it's ? So not only will magneticbe attract to it, but also metal detector will be able to pick it up. Every year, over eightee...
And above it the fragile air of the mesosphere is shielding us from a another deadly barrage from space. In east Texas, Jeff and Steve are searching for the remains of cosmic missiles that have been shattered by our atmosphere, fragments rarer than d...
As the balloons rise higer still,they face an attact by an invisible bombardment,radiation.Every day the Sun radiates a titanic amount of energy,some of them in the form of high energy of ultra violet rays.These rays packed a powerful punch ,and in t...
scores of sciencse experiments on board the airship study the dramatic persure change. we call it punset for pingpang ball satelite, and it also be the first thing we do is to have cut the pingbang ball on air ,then your experiment goes inside. and s...
The air thins and they begin to lose the protective weight of the miles of air above them. The pressure is dropping, when you finally get to the stratosphere, and to the altitude we like to work at, it's only one one hundredth that of it's on the gro...
You could use the balloons not just to go to the edge of the space as we do now,but go all the way over the line, and actually to use balloons or airships to go all the way into space,space travel without rocket.Officially, the atmosphere ends and sp...
The global average could be up 7 degrees F by the end of the century, wreaking havoc with weather patterns and habitats. We can't prevent climate change by preserving the air's delicate blend of gases, the unique mix that sets earth apart. And our pl...
But to fully forecast the floods, he needs a lot more atmospheric data. He believed robotic drone aircrafts developed for the military could continue to measure the air over the oceans, charting its temperature, wind and humidity. And the flight coul...
A single river can carry three times as much water as the entire Mississippi, they provide almost half the annual rain fall for parts of the American Pacific coast, but when they remain in one area for a day or more, they can produce violent flooding...
The planet's rotation twists the air as it flows, helping form the hurricanes that lash the coasts. As moist air wells upwards, clouds become electrically charged and send lightning bolts crushing down to the earth, superheating the air to eighteen t...
Our atmosphere is in constant motion; the moving air that causes our weather circulates between the ground and 50,000 feet. It is the sun that drives this movement. When solar energy reaches earth, it heats the surface and atmosphere, but it does so...
