- 'Extreme analytical chemistry' will help unravel Mars' mysteries
08-02-2007 · EurekAlert!
Sam Kounaves is spearheading the chemical analysis of Martian soil and ice for the NASA Phoenix Mars mission that will launch in early August and land on Mars next May. Kounaves examines big questions of planetary science by applying "extreme analytical chemistry" to harsh environments like Death Valley, Antarctica -- and now Mars. He says Mars holds vital clues to climate change on Earth.

- Prototype space probe prepares to explore Earth's deepest sinkhole
03-07-2007 · EurekAlert!
Scientists return this week to the world’s deepest known sinkhole for tests of a NASA-funded robot called DEPTHX, designed to survey and explore for life in one of Earth’s most extreme regions and potentially in outer space. DEPTHX's technology could aid future space probes of Europa, where scientists believe deep holes in the ice could hold extraterrestrial life.

- Arizona State University scientist finds Martian ice is patchy and variable
05-02-2007 · EurekAlert!
For the first time, scientists have found that water ice lies at variable depths over small-scale patches on the Red Planet. The discovery draws a much more detailed picture of underground ice on Mars than was previously available. The new results, by a researcher in Arizona State University's School of Earth and Space Exploration, will appear in Nature. The findings come from data sent back to Earth by THEMIS on NASA's Mars Odyssey orbiter.

- Titan's icy climate mimics Earth's tropics
10-02-2007 · EurekAlert!
If space travelers ever visit Saturn's largest moon, they will find a tropical world where temperatures plunge to minus 274 degrees Fahrenheit, methane rains from the sky and dunes of ice or tar cover the planet's most arid regions. These conditions reflect a cold mirror image of Earth's tropical climate, according to scientists at the University of Chicago.
