Earth's Cloudy Past Could Reveal Exoplanet DetailsMoffett Field CA (SPX) Jan 24, 2012 Two astronomers from Spain are trying to determine how brightly Earth would shine in the age of the dinosaurs.

Rather than relying on climate models, the pair analyzed the relationship between cloud cover and landforms to calculate how clouds would gather over different regions. "When you look at the planet...it has a given distributi ... read more |
