Russian Scientists ‘Map’ Water Vapour in Martian Atmosphere

Russian scientists from the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT), together with their French and American colleagues, have created a “map” of the distribution of water vapour in Mars’ atmosphere. Their research includes observations of seasonal variations in atmospheric concentrations using data collected over ten years by the Russian-French SPICAM spectrometer aboard the Mars Express orbiter. This is the longest period of observation and provides the largest volume of data about water vapour on Mars.

595 American Indian tribes used to exist in what is now known as the United States of America. Through wars, diseases, tribal consolidation, and general apathy, 150 tribes are classified as extinct with the other remaining tribes secluded on non-historical homelands referred to as Indian Reservations. 

Aaron Carapella, a Cherokee living in Oklahoma, created a map of all the native tribes, in their native language, and where the tribes were originally settled. This map is an extensive and mature culmination of study and research:

“The maps in the books were kind of cheesy, they only had maybe 50 to 100 tribes on them,” he told Tulalip News last year. “I didn’t want to make a map with just tribes’ given names on it. I wanted it to be accurate and from a Native perspective.” - See more at: http://thislandpress.com/roundups/map-of-the-week-native-american-nations/#sthash.4AxAE9s8.dpuf
