This interactive visualization of wind patterns all around the world is created by a script that downloads weather data from the Global Forecast System at the National Centers for Environmental Prediction, part of NOAA/the National Weather Service.

The data is updated every 3 hours, so it is pretty close to real-time considering that this isn't just a small local dataset but covers the whole planet.

Craig Venter On Living With Synthetic Life

This program is rebroadcast from October 29, 2013.

Famed genome sequencer Craig Venter joins us to look at the brave new world of synthetic life.

In the spring of 2010, Craig Venter – the “richest and most powerful man in biotechnology,” he’s been called – announced the creation of a new life form. Synthetic life. Genetically coded on a computer, and popped to life. Specifications dropped in by a human hand. Self-replicating and ready to go. It was a bombshell in biology circles. The rest of the world is still taking it onboard. Now Venter’s talking about it as a challenge to our understanding of life itself. A boon, he hopes. And maybe a teleporter, too. Up next On Point: Craig Venter on the advance of synthetic life.

Reading Researchers Find Shortcomings of 'Geo-Engineering'; Could Weaken Climatic Conditions in Certain Areas

"To reduce global temperatures enough to counter effects of global warming would require a massive injection of aerosol - the small particles that reflect sunlight back into space. This would be equivalent to a volcanic eruption five times the size of that of Mount Pinatubo every year," Angus Ferraro of Exeter University said.

"We are no where near this close to the Sun, but it gives you perspective on how massive the center of our local environment is (the sun accounts for 99.86% of the total mass of the solar system)."

According to Nassim Haramein the sun, all other stars, all planets, all galaxies and even all atoms are centered by various scale black holes. When a large black hole (the sun) changes how it resonates the structure of space-time it affects all the smaller-scale black holes (atoms). For example, it has been found that decay of radioactive isotopes fluctuates in synch with the rotation of the sun's core:http://phys.org/news202456660.html

Recently, the Sun has been unusually quiet, with fewer sunspots that we have ever observed in recorded history:

http://phys.org/news/2013-11-calm-solar-prompts-impact-earth.html

Yet, we just experienced a flip of the magnetic field of the sun, something that happens like clockwork in a regular 11 year cycle :http://news.stanford.edu/news/2013/november/solar-flip-hoeksema-111113.html

At the same time, we just witnessed 7 volcanoes erupt around the Earth in a very narrow window of time:

http://www.thedailysheeple.com/seven-volcanoes-in-six-different-countries-all-start-erupting-within-hours-of-each-other_112013

Could all these events be connected? One thing we can observe in general is that we are experiencing increased dynamics and change on all levels across the solar system from recent advances in our own scientific understanding of the universe to changes in the Sun and the Earth itself...

The Most Mysterious Nature Light Phenomena in The World who Researched by The Scientists.

The Hessdalen Light is an unexplained light usually seen in the Hessdalen valley in the municipality of Holtålen in Sør-Trøndelag county, Norway.

History and description:

Unusual lights have been reported here since 1940s or earlier. Especially high activity of Hessdalen lights took place from December 1981 until the summer of 1984 when lights were observed 15 to 20 times per week. The frequency of the lights caused a gathering of numerous tourists staying there overnight to see the phenomenon. Since then, the activity has decreased and now the lights are observed some 10 - 20 times per year.

The Hessdalen light most often is a bright, white or yellow light of unknown origin standing or floating above the ground level. Sometimes the light can be seen for more than one hour. There are several other types of unexplained lights observed in the Hessdalen valley.

Research:

Since 1983 there has been ongoing scientific research often nicknamed "Project Hessdalen", initiated by UFO-Norge and UFO-Sweden. The project was active as field investigations during 1983-1985. In 1998, the Hessdalen AMS automated scientific research station was built in the valley. It registers and records the appearance of lights.

Later, the EMBLA program was initiated. It brings together established scientists and students into researching these lights. Leading research institutions are Østfold University College (Norway) and the Italian National Research Council.

Possible explanations:

• One explanation attributes the phenomenon to an incompletely understood combustion process in the air involving clouds of dust from the valley floor containing scandium.[2] Some sightings though, have been identified as misperceptions of astronomical bodies, aircraft, car headlights, and mirages.

• One recent hypothesis suggests that the lights are formed by a cluster of macroscopic Coulomb crystals in a plasma produced by the ionization of air and dust by Alpha particles during radon decay in the dusty atmosphere. Several physical properties (oscillation, geometric structure, and light spectrum) observed in Hessdalen lights phenomenon can be explained through the dust plasma model. Radon decay produces alpha particles (responsible by helium emissions in HL spectrum) and radioactive elements such as polonium.

• Another hypothesis explains HL as a product of piezoelectricity generated under specific rock strains (Takaki and Ikeya, 1998)[9] because many crystal rocks include quartz grains which produce an intense charge density. In a recent paper,based in the dusty plasma theory of HL, it is suggested that piezoelectricity of quartz cannot explain a peculiar property assumed by the HL phenomenon -- the presence of geometrical structures in its center.
