Ancient Mars Was Wet, Cozy And Life FriendlyPasadena CA (JPL) Nov 01, 2010 Light-colored mounds of a mineral deposited on a volcanic cone more than three billion years ago may preserve evidence of one of the most recent habitable microenvironments on Mars. Observations by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter enabled researchers to identify the mineral as hydrated silica and to see its volcanic context. The mounds' composition and their location on the flanks of a volcanic cone provide the best evidence yet found on Mars for an intact deposit from a hydrothermal environment ... read more |

Pasadena CA (JPL) Oct 15, 2010Opportunity drove only once this past week, nearing the 24-kilometer (15-mile) odometry mark. On Sol 2382 (Oct. 6, 2010), the rover covered over 94 meters (308 feet) on her trek to Endeavour crater. With the use of autonomous navigation, the rover collects many more data products which fill the available flash memory. So occasionally, time has to be taken to work off this data backlo ... more
