The researchers concluded that "the surface of Mars is lethal to vegetative cells and renders much of the surface and near-surface regions uninhabitable." [ 34 ] This research demonstrates that the present-day surface is more uninhabitable than previously thought, [ 31 ] [ 35 ] and reinforces the notion to inspect at least a few meters into the ...
Badwater Crater is an impact crater located in Hellas Planitia and is situated within the low lying Plain of Peneus Palus on the southern hemisphere of Mars.It contains the lowest currently [as of?] known point on the entire planet, with an elevation of approximately −8,200 metres (−26,900 ft) [2] at 32.79° S, 62.14° E. [1] Badwater has a diameter of approximately 33.14 kilometres (20.59 ...
This means that Mars has lost a volume of water 6.5 times what is stored in today's polar caps. The water for a time would have formed an ocean in the low-lying Mare Boreum. The amount of water could have covered the planet about 140 meters, but was probably in an ocean that in places would be almost 1 mile deep. [1] [2]
For several years, researchers have found methane in the atmosphere of Mars. After study, it was determined to be coming from a point in Syrtis Major, located at 10° N and 50° E. [ 45 ] A recent study indicates that to match the observations of methane, there must be something that quickly destroys the gas, otherwise it would be spread all ...
The Mars carbonate catastrophe was an event that happened on Mars in its early history. Evidence shows Mars was once warmer and wet about 4 billion years ago, that is about 560 million years after the formation of Mars. Mars quickly, over a 1 to 12 million year time span, lost its water, becoming cold and very dry.
Chinese missions include launching near-Earth asteroid probe Tianwen-2 next year, and Tianwen-3 around 2030 to bring samples back from Mars. China last month retrieved samples from the far side of ...
As you dive into your New Year’s resolutions, taking precautions to protect yourself from a quartet of infectious diseases can lessen your odds of starting off 2025 sick.
According to NoroSTAT Data by the CDC, the total number of outbreaks reported during the 2024-2025 seasonal year is well above the range reported within the same period during the 2012-2020 and ...
