The Space Research Institute of Russian Academy of Sciences noted that life on Venus can be found precisely in the clouds.

Scientists believe that the clouds of Venus are live bacteria


Head of the Laboratory of spectroscopy of planetary atmospheres Space Research Institute (IKI) Lyudmila Zasova Tass reported that life on Venus can dwell in the air.

The Institute came to the conclusion that the clouds of Venus can live bacteria, similar to those that live in the human stomach and promote proper digestion of food, and thus resistant to acidic environments.

According to Lyudmily Zasovoy, the atmosphere at the level of the clouds on Venus is very much like the Earth's, and the cloud is 20% composed of water, which is why scientists concludes that bacteria can live it in there.

Recall that at the moment Russia and the United States work together to try to develop a project that promotes the discovery of life on Venus.

The mission of "Venera-D" for some time was frozen projects, however, was renewed last year. At the beginning of 2019 it is planned to publish the final report of the joint group of scientists of the Institute of Space Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IKI) and NASA, in which the overall goals and objectives of the project will be reflected. 

"Venus could be the first planet on which there was life in the solar system, that is, before the world", - said the head of the laboratory.

NASA researchers have discovered a huge crack in the ice cover of Greenland

Space agency NASA issued photo Petermann Glacier - one of the largest "ice islands" of Greenland. The picture shows a crack, which, according to scientists, in the near future may become a reason for the split of the glacier, reports  Washington You the Post .

Photos cracks were made by researchers polar glaciers in the framework of Operation IceBridge program.

Researchers who carried out over several days circled one of the largest glaciers in Greenland, Petermann Glacier, discovered a huge crack in the ice shelf, which can lead to spalling very large iceberg.

The participants of the research mission, Operation IceBridge reported that a crack appeared in the center of the glacier. Scientists fear that if the break stretch, there will be separation of the glacier. Since an area of ​​about 170 square kilometers, the sea level will inevitably rise.

The new crack was found not far from such already known to a larger formation. The merger of these cracks can lead to chipping of very large pieces of ice shelf.

Such ice fields gradually crushed into smaller icebergs, and then gradually blows during their south, where they melt, increasing thus the world's oceans. As noted in the NASA, just last week broke off a piece of the Greenland ice area of ​​100 square miles (260 square kilometers).

In southern Argentina discovered dinosaur eggs


Dinosaur eggs were found in the province of Neuquen in the south of Argentina. As the agency Telam , their age totals 70 million years.
Inside the egg preserved dinosaur embryos. As has told the head of the Department for Protection of Cultural Heritage Neukena Klaudiya Della Negra, for scientists this discovery is of great importance. "They are fully examined the embryos, and has already managed to make an analysis of the fetal skin and teeth", - she said. According to her, the eggs have reached our times in good condition due to the fact that the area where they were found was once a swamp, which was then buried under volcanic deposits.
dinosaur nest accidentally found a local shepherd near the village of Aguada San Roque a few years ago, however, scientists reported the discovery of just now. As noted by the researchers, this is not the first such discovery in the province. In 1997, scientists have also managed to find the remains of the ancient reptiles unhatched.
As noted Della Negra, in the area where the eggs are regularly nest of dinosaurs, as well as animal remains were found that they ruined. She expressed the hope that this place will be able to create a paleontological park that will preserve this area for future generations. In addition, according Degli Negra, the park could become a popular tourist attraction and create new jobs in Aguada San Roque.
