Rocky Mounds And A Plateau On MarsParis, France (ESA) Jun 29, 2010 When Mars Express set sail for the crater named after Portuguese navigator Ferdinand Magellan, it found a windblown plateau and mysterious rocky mounds nearby. Stretching across 190 x 112 km, this region of Mars covers an area of about 21 280 sq km, which is roughly the size of Slovenia. It is located to the southwest of the volcanic region Tharsis on the southern highlands of Mars, near the crater Magellan. Named after the famous Portuguese navigator and explorer Ferdinand Magellan, the imp ... read more |

Boulder CO (SPX) Jun 15, 2010A vast ocean likely covered one-third of the surface of Mars some 3.5 billion years ago, according to a new study conducted by University of Colorado at Boulder scientists. The CU-Boulder study is the first to combine the analysis of water-related features including scores of delta deposits and thousands of river valleys to test for the occurrence of an ocean sustained by a global hydrosph ... more 
Paris (AFP) June 13, 2010A huge, potentially life-giving sea likely covered more than a third of Mars some 3.5 billion years ago, according to a study released Sunday. Spread over an area the size of the Atlantic Ocean, it would have straddled the north pole and contained the equivalent of a tenth of the water on Earth. For decades scientists have argued as to whether the Red Planet once harboured bodies of wate ... more 
Pasadena CA (JPL) Jun 15, 2010The pancam mast assembly (PMA) azimuth error from Sol 2257 (May 30, 2010), is still being resolved on Opportunity, although with a likely explanation in hand. Diagnostics were run on Sols 2259, 2261, 2262 and 2265 (June 1, 3, 4 and 8). In every case, the diagnostics indicated a healthy PMA azimuth actuator. Further investigation now suggests that the miniature thermal emission spectr ... more |

Detailed Martian Scenes In New Images From Mars OrbiterPasadena CA (SPX) Jun 10, 2010 Six hundred recent observations of the Mars landscape from an orbiting telescopic camera include scenes of sinuous gullies, geometrical ridges and steep cliffs. Each of the 600 newly released observations from the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera aboard NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter covers an area of several square miles on Mars and reveals details as small as desks. The HiRISE images taken from April 5 to May 6, 2010, are now available on NASA's Planetary Data ... read more |
