How Ancient Martian Rocks May Have Helped Water Flow on Its Surface seti.org/how-ancient-martian-r

A new hypothesis from SETI Institute scientist Dr. Janice Bishop and Dr. Melissa Lane from Fibernetics in Pennsylvania suggests underground water on #Mars could have formed clays and carbonates billions of years ago, either through subsurface reactions with rocks or precipitation from saturated pore waters.

SETI InstituteHow Ancient Martian Rocks May Have Helped Water Flow on its SurfaceA new hypothesis from SETI Institute scientist Dr. Janice Bishop and Dr. Melissa Lane from Fibernetics in Pennsylvania could explain how early Mars may have had water on its surface, similar to Earth, even though today its atmosphere is too thin to support liquid water.

#PPOD: Portrait of comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko in natural color. This image was taken with the OSIRIS NAC camera on ESA's Rosetta mission on 5 August 2014 from a range of 123 kilometers. Originating in the Kuiper Belt, 67P is a Jupiter-family comet with an orbital period of 6.45 years and will reach its next perihelion in 2028.

Comet 67P, shown in natural color, is a double-lobed rocky body with a thin neck attaching the two pieces.

My April article for @forbes has a distinctly NZ flavour. It's about a new study that uses satellite radar imagery to measure land movement in NZ's coastal cities - the bad news is, in many places, it is sinking. I spoke to the lead author of the study forbes.com/sites/lauriewinkles

ForbesNew Zealand's Major Cities Are SinkingNo coastal city is immune to the impacts of sea-level rise. A new study shows that in NZ, land subsidence is accelerating the problem, putting infrastructure at risk

#PPOD: Numerous holes in a Swiss cheese-like Martian landscape reveal dusty, dark terrain beneath evaporating carbon dioxide ice. The most unusual hole, about 100 meters wide in the upper right, seems to penetrate to a lower level. Its existence and surrounding circular crater are speculated to be from a meteor impact. Credit: NASA, MRO, HiRISE, JPL, U. Arizona via APOD

The dusty red surface of Mars is glazed with carbon dioxide ice. Holes in the ice cover are scattered throughout the image. In the upper right corner is an impact crater, with no ice surrounding it, but some can be seen inside the crater at the bottom.

Max, whispers to you too now

Reading a paper about cloth moth evolution. Really interesting!

At the end of the intro, they hypothesize co-evolution between humans and synanthropic moths. Well, that sounds very unlikely but ok I guess?

Like, recent adaptations maybe, but co-evolution seems a bit extreme.

Also I would expect it to be only in the moth, it sounds unlikely that there would be any impact on human evolution besides cultural practices...
