QUOTE he latest results from Mars Express reveal that the surface of the red planet is much more diverse than previously thought, with evidence for the presence of hydrated sulphates, silicates and various rock-forming minerals. Space scientists working on the European Space Agency mission have just analysed the first nine months of data from the OMEGA instrument and published six papers that give the first detailed inventory of the entire Martian surface. Last year Mars Express identified frozen water at both the north and south poles of the planet.

And today's trip to UMSF causes brellis to learn more about the Coriolis Effect, because I was going to ask in which direction the 'river' should be traveling. Thanks!
p.s. - I must confess I was wondering about compass-type of stuff at the time, lol |
