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  
Nairobi (AFP) March 7, 2010Somali pirates raked in an estimated 60 million dollars in 2009 but the Indian Ocean's ransom hunters have also spurred a much larger industry of ship protection devices.

Radar Map Of Buried Martian Ice Adds To Climate RecordPasadena CA (JPL) Mar 04, 2010 Extensive radar mapping of the middle-latitude region of northern Mars shows that thick masses of buried ice are quite common beneath protective coverings of rubble. The ability of NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter to continue charting the locations of these hidden glaciers and ice-filled valleys - first confirmed by radar two years ago - adds clues about how these deposits may have been left as remnants when regional ice sheets retreated. The subsurface ice deposits extend for hundreds of ... read more |
