Those are 5 times thicker in the night and at a lower level, closer to surface than in daylight when they can be found sometimes at 100 kilometers, being the most highest zone ever discovered on a planet by mankind.
On the Red Planet, the clouds have been detect by computers but have not been seen until now.
The surprise has come when the researchers from NASA have been observed that exist places where the temperature doesn't fall down in the nighttime as much as they expect.
The difference of temperature between places covered by clouds and places uncovered can reach 35 degrades Fahrenheit.

New research on black holes shakes Einstein's theories
In his theory of relativity, Einstein claims that the black holes are so powerful so they can bend space and time, and they've condensed so much matter and energy into a single point that they could suck in forever anything nearby, including light. The problem with this idea it comes against the qua ...
