NASA Mars rover finds evidence of life-friendly ancient lake

Scientists have found evidence of an ancient freshwater lake on Mars well suited to support microbial life, the researchers said Monday.

The lake, located inside Gale Crater where the rover landed in August 2012, likely covered an area 31 miles long and 3 miles wide, though its size varied over time.

I was just coming to post this. Don't fully understand it, but I think it's cool nonetheless.

I think we're getting closer and closer to a disclosure of alien life, but it's a long term "ease the public into it" kind of thing, with multiple world governments involved.

Essentially everything we are and perceive is a projection from the edge of the boundary of our universe(which only has 2 dimensions) :bongrip:

"By following that reasoning, if we put male hormones in a chicken and we make a homosexual eat it he will transform into a heterosexual."

This is a high school science project waiting to happen.

I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking at there, but it's beautiful. The best I can tell is they draw a straight line from Venus to Earth at random points in time over an 8 year period?

Well, at least it's getting better.

[PensFanInDC]

That's kinda general isn't it? One can believe in creation but also believe that our species has evolved in some ways. Just not from monkeys.

Monkeys? Rats!

Makes sense. It basically feels like a reset button when you do it.

are we still getting signal from voyager 1? if so, holy crap that's impressive.

[Letang Is The Truth]

is pluto still not a planet?

[count2infinity]

It's considered a "dwarf planet". It along with Eris (about the same size as Pluto) are not considered planets.

I believe the politically correct term is "little planet"
