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.

The idea of supervolcanoes on Mars was new to me, but it is not new to science. A search here indicates that this has not been posted here, so here a couple of cool links from results that were published in Nature in 2013.
NASA Release: Mars Crater May Actually be a Supervolcano Nature Release: Giant depressions may be ancient eruptions I found this really cool video from Nature. Supervolcanoes on Mars This seems to be a wonderful example of research on Mars increasing the understanding of our own planet. |
