ESA orbiter discovers huge ice water deposits at Mars' equator
Massive ice deposits have been found beneath the equator of Mars by the European Space Agency's Mars Express orbiter.
The ice deposits are estimated to be around 3.7km thick and would cover the entirety of Mars in a shallow ocean about two meters deep if melted. [ more ]
Earth received a message from 10M miles away - but it wasn't E.T.
NASA successfully beamed a laser from space to Southern California, a historic event and a step towards sending astronauts to Mars.
The laser was emitted from NASA's unmanned Psyche spacecraft, which is on a mission to explore a metal-filled comet in the asteroid belt in 2028.
The laser's successful blast is an instrumental step in higher-data-rate communications for deep space exploration and sending humans to Mars. [ more ]
