- Observations give precise estimate of Mars ice
09-21-2007 · Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
An MIT-led team of scientists has found that the southern pole of Mars contains the largest deposit of frozen water in the inner solar system, outside of Earth. The work shows that water, not carbon dioxide, is the predominant frozen liquid in that area.

- Study supports notion that Mars once had ocean
06-13-2007 · EurekAlert!
UC Berkeley geophycists are providing strong evidence that Mars once had an ocean. Naysayers have argued that what appear to be ancient coastlines near the North Pole are too warped to be true seashores. The researchers claim, however, that this anomaly resulted from the tilt of Mars' spin axis 2 to 3 billion years ago, possibly because the weight of surface water made the planet tip like a weighted top.

- The moon's south pole: Very high resolution, radar images find rocks abundant, but no ice sheets
10-18-2006 · EurekAlert!
Using the highest resolution radar-signal images ever made of the moon -- images from the National Science Foundation's Arecibo Telescope in Arecibo, P.R., and the NSF's Robert C. Byrd Telescope in Green Bank, W.Va. -- planetary astronomers have found no evidence for ice in craters at the lunar south pole. Cornell University, Smithsonian Institution and Australian scientists report the findings in the latest Nature.

- HIV burden in India may be much lower than official estimates
12-12-2006 · EurekAlert!
Official figures might over-estimate the number of HIV-positive individuals in India. A new study published today in the open access journal BMC Medicine finds that the HIV burden is 2.5 times lower than official figures predict in the district of Guntur, in the south-Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. Andhra Pradesh has the highest HIV prevalence in India according to official estimates.
