So Sad
:D Yes, our little hero, Spirit, has done some marvelous work as has its sister, Opportunity. But I was saddened to hear from JPL that Spirit's scramble for winter sun has been bogged down now that it must drag a broken foot. :cry: http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/image/0603/paigepan_spirit.jpg

The evidence of global warming is overwhelming. Anyone with proof [photos or measurements] to the contrary is highly encouraged to post such images and citations. But it is not the conversion of ice into seawater and the subsequent rise in sealevel which concerns me the most [though that alone will ...

Re: Two Tone Rock
It looks to me like it is a "rock" that was once covered in ice. The ice is slowly sublimating giving us the two tone view. Yes, though I didn't know whether the rock arrived with its icy covering or whether it was a reminant of a winter ice drift. Though there appear to be ice patches fu...

OK, I'm learning way too much of the bad air in a place I'll never visit. Carbon Dioxide is one of the heaviest gasses and its effect at the surface of Venus is cause for the greater density of the atmosphere. Even so, with the weaker magnetic field offering very little protection from the stronger ...

It might well be another star satelite. Another star's satellite?

But how did it get its gravity? By existing. It is a force of attraction and exists between all objects in the universe. Newton found that the force of gravity on an object is directly proportional to its mass. The density of Iapetus is 1.1 indicating that it is almost wholly of something akin to w...

For my two cents 8) The solar system formed from a disc of material which had gathered in our local Milky Way region. This disc coalesced further into the sun and planets. You can call anything orbiting the sun a planet, but once it's found not to made of our system's original materials then it's of...
