Clouds might seem like a nuisance if you’re headed on a Sunday after**on picnic. But put aside your personal biases for a second and consider this: clouds can also tell the story of life on earth.

That story has become a lot clearer thanks to new maps (http://www.earthenv.org/cloud) created by scientists that document a global year in the clouds (http://www.climatecentral.org/news/13-years-clouds-nasa-map-18985)*in more intimate detail than ever before. The maps — a cloud atlas if you will — provide a fine-*****ed view of how clouds move around in our atmosphere and represent an important link between climate and ecological research (http://www.climatecentral.org/news/ecosystems-face-unprecedented-changes-in-the-next-century-16301). They’re also pretty easy on the eyes. Read more... (http://mashable.com/2016/05/03/cloud-maps-life-on-earth/)
