The clouds are missing from the artist’s conception.
I like this:
Ulli Kaeufl of ESO, who was responsible for building one of the instruments used in this study and is a co-author of the new paper, adds: "I am again overwhelmed by how much power there is in remote sensing on other planets using astronomical telescopes: we found an ancient ocean more than 100 million kilometres away!"
I would like to see bigger and better telescopes in space more than I would like to see a mission to Mars.
Mars is all dried up. Let's use the technology of big space telescopes to find some actual living planets out there among the stars.
I realize that the two endeavors are not mutually exclusive, but there are limited funds available.
And you thought that theory that Men are from Mars and women are from Venus was fiction, didn’t you.
Where are the spiders? There have been songs about the spiders on mars.
It is hard to imagine a warm wet world without some forms of life. I am intrigued by the theory that we humans may be immigrants from Mars.
But I thought that scientists were never wrong, especially climatologists.
For Mars to ever have been warm enough to make that possible, the Earth would have been turned into a piece of charcoal.
