And Now, the Weather (On Mars)Humans have the incredible ability to control the world around us. We can move mountains and land robots on other planets. We can keep each other alive longer than ever before and even bring entire species back from the brink of extinction.

But despite all of our leaps forward, we're still unable to control the weather, a tremendous force that affects every human being on this planet. Still, humans have come up with some pretty crafty ways of influencing the weather—in small doses. WE CAN MAKE IT RAIN … SOMEWHAT. The desire to control weather has been a mainstay of imagination since, well, the beginning of imagination. The fortunes of entire societies can hinge on flood or drought. We have strong motivation to want to create a rainstorm in one spot or moderate snowfall in another.

But the greatest success we've ever had is a technique that can (maybe) encourage a tiny bit of rain to form over a tiny area. Cloud seeding is a process through which fine particles like silver iodide are released into a cloud in order to encourage the formation of rain or snow.

These particulates serve as a nucleus around which water vapor can condense and turn into a raindrop or a snowflake. This is most commonly done with small airplanes, but it can also be accomplished by launching tiny rockets or flares from the ground. In theory, the practice of cloud seeding could have innumerable uses around the world, including crop maintenance, providing drinking water, and even possibly weakening severe thunderstorms or hurricanes. There's only one problem: It doesn't work all that well. The effectiveness of cloud seeding is a hot topic of debate among scientists, but most studies have either found negligible impacts on precipitation, or the researchers were unable to determine the exact impact of cloud seeding.

Cloud seeding is a great concept if you want to help one cloud produce a little extra rain or snow just to say you can do it, but it's not the way to go if you're desperate and want to trigger a deluge. This process requires the pre- existing presence of clouds, so even if the technology improves in the future, it's not a viable solution for drought- stricken areas that haven't seen meaningful clouds in weeks. WE CAN DEFINITELY ATTRACT LIGHTNING USING ROCKETS. Lightning safety is one of the things you learn from a very young age. When thunder roars, go indoors," as the motto goes. We learn to stay away from open areas and water during thunderstorms.

But what if you wanted to attract lightning? It's surprisingly easy to do if you have the right equipment and really, really want to encounter some of nature's fury. Scientists who want to study lightning can bring it right to their doorstep by using specially designed rockets attached to conductive wires that lead to the ground below. When a thunderstorm blows over the observation station, operators can launch these rockets up into the clouds to trigger a lightning strike that follows the wire right down to the ground where the rocket was launched. Voila, instant lightning.

Just add rocket fuel. WE CAN CREATE CLOUDS AND HEAT—EVEN WHEN WE DON'T MEAN TO. Most of the ways in which we control—or, more accurately, influence—the weather is through indirect human actions—often unintentional. Whoops, the nuclear power plant just caused a snowstorm" isn't as crazy as it sounds.

Steam stacks can and do produce clouds and updrafts with enough intensity to create rain or snow immediately downwind. The very presence of cities can generate microclimates with warmer temperatures and heavier rain.

And there's also climate change, the process in which our accumulated actions over a long period of time are influencing the very climate itself. BUT WE CAN'T DO THE FIVE FOLLOWING THINGS. Despite our limited ability to influence a few aspects of weather over small areas, there are some rather colorful conspiracy theories about whether or not governments and organizations are telling the whole truth about how much we can accomplish with today's technology. Watch Sully Full Movie on this page. There are folks who insist that the trails of condensed water vapor, or "contrails," left behind jet aircraft are really chemicals being sprayed for sinister purposes.

They're not.) There are theories that a high- frequency, high- power array of antennas deep in the Alaskan wilderness can control every weather disaster in the world. It doesn't.) There are even folks who insist that Doppler weather radar carries enough energy to "zap" storms into existence on demand. Dr. Evil wishes.)There are also some bizarre and unworkable theories that are offered in good faith. A meteorologist a few years ago opined on whether building an excessively tall wall across middle America could disrupt weather patterns that could lead to tornado activity. And every year the National Hurricane Center is peppered with questions about whether or not detonating nuclear bombs in a hurricane would disrupt the storm's structure. Unfortunately, while pseudoscience offers up great theories to test in the movies, when it comes to weather, we're still not in control.

UFO hunters spot 'giant Iron Man' robot on martian surface. While many alien hunters search the cosmic for extraterrestrials, one claims to have spotted ‘an Iron Man robot’ hitchhiking on Comet 6.

P. The bizarre sighting was found in an image of Churyumov–Gerasimenko that was snapped by the Rosetta spacecraft a few days before it met its demise is September. The conspiracy theorist has also claimed that there is a lion face etched in one of the rocks and another sculpture laying in the dust that were 'made by intelligent beings’. Scroll down for video While many alien hunters search the cosmic for extraterrestrials, one claims to have spotted ‘an Iron Man robot’ hitchhiking on Comet 6. P. The Iron Man robot appears to be peaking out of a cave opening in the lower portion of the image.

WHY WE SEE STRANGE THINGS ON COMETS Pareidolia is the psychological response to seeing faces and other significant and everyday items in random stimulus. It is a form of apophenia, when people see patterns in random, unconnected data. There have been multiple occasions when people have claimed to see religious images and themes in unexpected places. On the red planet, one of the most famous is the 'face on Mars' spotted by one of the Viking orbiters in 1. This was later proven to just be a chance alignment of shifting sand dunes. Scott C. Waring of UFO Sightings Daily shared the sighting with his followers after examining images of Comet 6. P, or the comet formally knows as Churyumov–Gerasimenko, from the European Space Agency (ESA) website. The Iron Man robot appears to be peaking out of a cave opening in the lower portion of the image.‘I call it an Iron Man- like robot only because it has a center chest circle on it,’ explained Waring.‘Perhaps it’s just art, perhaps it is just coincidence, but I bet you see it too.’Looking at the original image from the ESA and it appears to be just edges of a cave or shadows from other rocks on the comet. In the same area, Waring also claims there is a giant lion head also sitting on the comet, which he said is smiling and just below it is ‘another very large rock area with lines that look like they have been made by intelligent beings’, Waring explained referring to both of the sculptures.‘The one constant about anomalies found is that there is no constant,’ he shared in the blog post.‘You never know what you will find next.’Looking at the original image (pictured) from the ESA and it appears to be just edges of a cave or shadows from other rocks on the comet. P IS A COMET CHAMELEON Although many photos beamed back by the Rosetta spacecraft show comet 6.

P in black and white, recent data has revealed the distant ball of ice recently underwent a color transformation. After months of monitoring, scientists have seen, for the first time, how heat from the sun can change the composition of the surface of a comet. Over a period of three months, the European Space Agency's Rosetta space probe recorded the brightness changing by more than a third. The color change is thought to be due to ice hidden below the surface being gently warmed by the sun. As it warmed, the ice sublimated into gas and escaped, lifting some of the surface dust away and contributing to the comet's coma and tail. As these dust layers were slowly ejected, fresher material was gradually exposed. This new surface was both reflective, making the comet brighter, and richer in ice, resulting in bluer measurements.  The image where Warning believes to have spotted the bizarre objects are actually ‘small and large boulders scattered in the Anubis region,’ according to the ESA’s official website.

The image was taken by Rosetta on September 1. In the same area, Waring also claims there is a giant lion head also sitting on the comet, which he said is smilingjust below it is ‘another very large rock area with lines that look like they have been made by intelligent beings’, Waring explained referring to both of the sculptures The Rosetta probe, which was carrying Philae, launched into space in 2. Earth and Mars to slingshot its way towards comet 6. P/Churyumov- Gerasimenko.

Scott C Waring is making this claim because he believes it has a center chest circle like the Marvel character. Son Of The Mask Full Movie In English here. It chased the comet through space for more than ten years, entering orbit in August 2. After a four- billion- mile (6. Philae lander from its grip to land on the comet on 1.

This resulted in it bouncing to a height of 0. It then bounced again, but to a much lower altitude. Philae managed to perform more than 9. Rosetta, meanwhile, is continuing to orbit and study the comet. The image where Warning believes to have spotted the bizarre objects are actually ‘small and large boulders scattered in the Anubis region,’ according to the ESA’s official website.

The image was taken by Rosetta on September 1. HOW COMET 6. 7P GOT ITS STRANGE 'RUBBER DUCK' SHAPE  Comet 6. P has a larger lobe and a smaller lobe separated by a thin 'neck' region, each of which appear to be made up of 'onion- like' layers. Professor Matteo Massironi, a geoscientist at the University of Padova, Italy, and his colleagues have found that the larger lobe is made up a series of layers 2,1. However, these are quite different from the layers that appear in the smaller lobe. Combined with data about the comets gravity, the researchers said this suggests 6.

P is the result of a low- speed impact between two separate bodies sometime in the distant past. They say these 1. Although erosion is not the root cause of the comet's double- lobed shape, it nevertheless does play an important role in the comet's evolution today. Local variations in the structure of the surface likely result from different rates of vaporization of the ice that forms on the surface of the comet. From data collected by the two probes, Esa said that water on the comet was different to that on Earth - suggesting water on our world came from an asteroid, not a comet. And on September 3. Rosetta mission had officially ended, as the spacecraft crashed onto its comet.
