Astro-Image of the Day: Glaciers on Mars!

[mckitterick]

I was just reading in Science News - don't know how I missed the news online - that NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has revealed vast glaciers of water-ice... and not just at the poles, but at Mars' mid-latitudes. Wow!

So it's not just North America that's getting hammered with snow.

Ba-da-boom, tsch!

I know - think of it: This proves that we could live there, should political will and economic capacity permit.

This is that time of the semester when grading takes over my life. I'll get better again, I promise!
