Celebrating Viking: Gilbert Levin Recalls the Search for Life on Mars - The Crux
http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/.../20/celebrating-viking-gilbert-levin-life-on-mars/#.V4_CZLt95hE
Forty years ago today, the first of two landing probes of NASA’s Project Viking touched down on planet Mars.
Discover contributor Dr. David Warmflash spoke with Dr. Gilbert Levin, whose Labeled Release (LR) experiment
was one of three instruments delivered by the Viking landers to look for Martian microorganisms in 1976.

At age 92, Levin is the only survivor of the three biology experimenters and he’s looking ahead to 2020 when
he hopes to have another instrument on the Martian surface looking for life.



Forty Years Ago, We Landed On Mars... And Found Life?

Forty years ago, for the first time, a spacecraft from Earth willfully landed on the Martian surface, and looked for signs of life.
One of the experiments came back with a positive result, and those results are still open to interpretation. The question of whether
there’s microscopic life on Mars is still an open, unanswered one, as no strong conclusion has been reached either way.

Using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers have conducted the first search for atmospheres around temperate, Earth-sized
planets beyond our solar system and found indications that increase the chances of habitability on two exoplanets.

Specifically, they discovered that the exoplanets TRAPPIST-1b and TRAPPIST-1c, approximately 40 light-years away, are unlikely
to have puffy, hydrogen-dominated atmospheres usually found on gaseous worlds.

If the agency wants to search for and analyze Earth-like planets in other solar systems, the telescope it designs and builds
will have to be orders of magnitude more stable than anything launched to date, including the James Webb Space Telescope.

Some earthquakes on San Andreas Fault triggered by gravitational tug of sun and moon | Geology Page
http://www.geologypage.com/2016/07/some-earthquakes-on-san-andreas-fault.html
The gravitational tug between the sun and moon is not just a dance of high and low tides:
It can also trigger a special kind of earthquake on the San Andreas Fault.

This phenomenon has fascinated scientists for years. Like sea levels, the surface of the Earth also goes up and down with the tides,
flexing the crust and stressing the faults inside. Further study found that during certain phases of the tidal cycle, small tremors
deep underground - known as low-frequency earthquakes - were more likely to occur.

Hi-C to Show the Sun’s Corona in Sharp Detail | NASA

Update ( 3 p.m. EDT, July 19, 2016) – The launch of the Hi-C payload on a NASA Black Brant IX suborbital sounding rocket has been postponed. A new launch
date has not been determined. The team discovered a potential payload system issue during pre-launch testing. The team is currently assessing the problem.

NASA and its partners are getting ready to launch a rocket-borne camera to the edge of space at 12:36 p.m. Mountain time on July 19, 2016, on its second
flight to study the sun. The clarity of images returned will provide scientists around the world with clues to one of the biggest questions in heliophysics
– why the sun’s atmosphere, or corona, is so much hotter than its surface.
