NASA Trapped Mars Rover Finds Evidence of Subsurface WaterPasadena CA (JPL) Oct 29, 2010 The ground where NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Spirit became stuck last year holds evidence that water, perhaps as snow melt, trickled into the subsurface fairly recently and on a continuing basis. Stratified soil layers with different compositions close to the surface led the rover science team to propose that thin films of water may have entered the ground from frost or snow. The seepage could have happened during cyclical climate changes in periods when Mars tilted farther on its axis. Th ... read more |

Berlin, Germany (SPX) Oct 13, 2010There are few places on Mars lower than this. The floor of Melas Chasma sinks nine kilometres below the surrounding plains. New images from the German Aerospace Centre (Deutsche Zentrum fur Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) operated High Resolution Stereo Camera on ESA's Mars Express orbiter highlight the complex history of this enormous martian canyon. Melas Chasma is part of the huge Valles Mari ... more 
Tucson AZ (SPX) Oct 12, 2010A new discovery of hydrothermally altered carbonate-bearing rocks on Mars points toward habitable environments deep in the Martian crust, a Planetary Science Institute researcher said. A deposit of carbonate rocks that once existed 6 km (about 4 miles) below the surface of Mars was uplifted and exposed by an ancient meteor impact, said Joseph Michalski, research scientist with PSI. The car ... more

Saturn's Icy Moon May Keep Oceans Liquid With WobblePasadena CA (JPL) Oct 07, 2010 Saturn's icy moon Enceladus should not be one of the most promising places in our solar system to look for extraterrestrial life. Instead, it should have frozen solid billions of years ago. Located in the frigid outer solar system, it's too far from the sun to have oceans of liquid water - a necessary ingredient for known forms of life - on its surface. Some worlds, like Mars or Jupiter's moon Europa, give hints that they might harbor liquid water beneath their surfaces. Mars is about 4,200 miles ... read more |
