Possible caves in planet Mars

Scientific that study the images of the ship Odyssey of NASA they have detected what you/they seem to be 7 caves in the surface of Mars.

This notice has just been announced in BBC News. The scientists have reached this conclusion due to the vertical reflection of the solar light in the flanks of the volcano Arsia Mons that indicate the appearance of cavities in the surface. The particulars of the discovery showed up in the Conference of Lunar and Planetary Sciences in Houston, Texas. Translated of the notice:

The authors say that the possible discovery of caves in the Red Planet is important. The caves could be the natural only structures able to protect primitive forms of life of micrometoros, radiation UV, solar ionospheric storms and particles high-energy that bombard the surface of the planet. The entries of these caves have between 100 and 252 width meters. Since in most one cannot observe the bottom, minimum depths are only known, from among 73 and 96 meters under the surface. However, you are calculated that the caves would have a perpendicular depth of up to 130 meters or more.

The measured temperatures as much in the surface as inside the supposed caves provide bigger information in this respect:

The data of temperature THEMIS backups this idea. During the day, one of the caves (to the one that "Annie" has called you you/he/she is warmer than the other and colder that the exposed areas to the solar light. The night temperature is warmer than in almost any other field. Glen Cushing, co-author and scientific of USGS in Flagstaff, Arizona, said that this is exactly what should happen if this structure was a cave. "Anything eats this you had been seen before in Mars", you said.

The scientists refer to the probable caves like the "seven sisters", to those that have allocated names to distinguish them: Dena, Chloe, Wendy, Annie, Abbey, Nicki and Jeanne.
This is at the moment the available information. In a future I will upgrade this entry. Meanwhile, they can observe the surface of the volcano Arsia Mons in Google Mars, or in the web page of the system THEMIS.

Guardian Goblins

Many amulets that are determined as such from the antiquity, exist and utilized with the purpose of driving away the bad energy, to be protected of abstractions and of any aggression class; or so that they bring luck and prosperity to the locus in quo you locate them to him or to quines they possess them. An example of these amulets is in fact the guardian goblins.

These nice little men, inhabit your legal age in the forests, building your housings inside the trees or in caves under the earth. They live for the most part during the night and they sleep in the day. Although they are extremely infants protectors, you are to have much care when trying with them because they possess an extremely susceptible character.

They are guardian natural of hidden treasures under the same earth, being your commission to take care of the precious stones and gems that exist in the depths.

In spite of your character impredecible, the goblins adapt well to the domestic environment provided they are consented with your likes. They are extremely astute and intelligent but, although all seem to be nice, as well as to us it happens us, those exist which are not of trusting.

Now then, in the moment in that the human being is able to win your friendship, they are excellent allies to combat the abstractions, since they have special abilities as for example to be mimicked, to become invisible, to go by the eye of the sealing, to imitate sounds of animal and also to become perceptible to the humans.

To use your image like amulet, you the debit side to put in the garden, balcony or terrace; or in the same entry of the house, always of at two. They will feel very satisfied if they are brought near strawberries, nuts or flowers and also if they are put an affectionate name. For ésto it should always be greeted when entering to the place or when leaving the same one. You are to maintain them clean and to take care of them of the rains.

If you are not space like to arrange a statuette of about 30 centimeters of high, you are miniature that, in the house of being about an apartment, they can be dispensed among the rooms of the same one. You are good you are this case to put them in maceteros edges.

If you the note idlers or capricious you are good to give you some pats in the shoulder or in the queue to express you support and complicity.

Spiders Tarantulas of the highway

To who at some time when going driving or in a vehicle, has not he/she been crossed an enormous spider by the highway? They are male that they walk in search of hidden females in their caves, generally last and cloudy days. But it is not necessary to worry, they are not not only dangerous, but rather until they shake hands us controlling a plague.

The cores should move because their females are sedentary and they live in caves in the prairies. Although they are night species, the cores also take advantage the cloudy days or with drizzle for their day forays.

It is an enigma that intrigues to the aracnólogos for a lot of time, the fact that the cores come out massively. What we can say is that the cores live a lot less than the females, persisting as adults so single two months. As many they already exist more female than male (possibly 10 at 1), these should copulate to different females and they have little time. Also the synchronous exits of numerous cores would saturate the capacity of capture of their scarce predators. Does this explain the massive exits but, why in day schedule and in stormy days? Probably these dark bugs and nocturne suffer an important dehydration if they leave in sunny days. Also, it is possible that the females are waived to lean out to the entry of the cave during the sunny days. That the female appears and indispensable so that the sexual intercourse that he/she needs a lot of space happens. He/she also has to do with the communication among female and male that is by means of vibrations of the floor during the retinue. It is well-known that the dampness of the substrate facilitates the propagation of the signals. Therefore, the cores would take advantage of the climatic conditions to court more intensely for the heat and their communication would be more efficient and more successful to achieve the sexual intercourses.

These spiders are also very useful for us, since they can be a natural very effective insecticide. The spiders are indebted predadoras during all their life. In general they eat insects, detrimental many of them for the man. In the case of the spiders of the highway, they are able to eat up to the adults of the bugs "bull" for example, this cascarudo, is responsible for generating important damages since in the natural prairies its larva, he/she feeds of roots of pastures. This insect is characterized to be difficult to attack, since he lives in a permanent way under the earth and any other spice, except for these spiders, they eat them. This insect class, is bad for the cultivations with direct siembra, where the floor stays intact, then it damages seeds, roots and until wheat shafts, for example, affecting to the agriculture.
