Early Warning System Would Predict Space Storms on MarsRochester NY (SPX) Mar 30, 2010 Space weather storms will make living on Mars challenging. The first group of colonists won't need umbrellas; they will need safe houses with 30-foot thick walls made of Martian clay that can withstand radiation storms. NASA's vision for a permanent human presence on Mars as soon as 2028 will need to address the danger posed by space weather storms. These cyclical winds carrying storms comprised of high-energy particles occur every 11 years, with waves lingering for approximately three years befor ... read more |

Greenbelt MD (SPX) Mar 08, 2010Flowing lava can carve or build paths very much like the riverbeds and canyons etched by water, and this probably explains at least one of the meandering channels on the surface of Mars. These results were presented on March 4, 2010 at the 41st Lunar and Planetary Science Conference by Jacob Bleacher at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md. Whether channels on Mars were formed ... more 
Koln, Germany (SPX) Mar 08, 2010Mars Express encountered Phobos last night, smoothly skimming past at just 67 km, the closest any manmade object has ever approached Mars' enigmatic moon. The data collected could help unlock the origin of not just Phobos but other 'second generation' moons. Something is not right about Phobos. It looks like a solid object but previous flybys have shown that it is not dense enough to be so ... more 
Pasadena CA (JPL) Mar 05, 2010NASA's newest Mars orbiter, completing its fourth year at the Red Planet next week, has just passed a data-volume milestone unimaginable a generation ago and still difficult to fathom: 100 terabits. That 100 trillion bits of information is more data than in 35 hours of uncompressed high-definition video. It's also more than three times the amount of data from all other deep-space missions ... more |

A Glow In The Martian NightMoffett Field CA (SPX) Mar 03, 2010 Astrobiology Magazine (AM): Let's talk about the paper you just published in the journal Science. Jean-Loup Bertaux (JLB): Our paper is about light that was discovered on the night side of Mars. Up to now, there has been no detection of this natural light, or "air glow." It has been seen on the day side of Mars by Mariner 6, 7 and 9 in the ultraviolet, but there were no observations of the night side. AM: How is this kind of light produced? JLB: One way is through chemically produced e ... read more |
