Steve Dustcircle 🌹New Hope for #LifeonMars: Study Finds Elusive Conditions for #LiquidWater Still Exist
Norobiik @An immense reservoir of liquid water may reside deep under the surface of Mars within fractured #IgneousRocks, holding enough to fill an #ocean that would cover the entire surface of #Earth's planetary neighbor.
That is the conclusion of scientists based on seismic data obtained by #NASA's robotic #InSightLander during a mission that helped decipher the interior of Mars.

If Hycean Worlds Really Exist, What are Their Oceans Like?
Astronomers have been on the hunt for a new kind of exoplanet in recent years – one especially suited for habitability. They’re called hycean worlds, and they’re characterized by vast liquid water oceans and thick hydrogen-rich atmospheres. The name was coined in 2021 by Cambridge astronomer Nikku Madhusudhan, whose team got a close-up look at … Continue reading "If Hycean Worlds Really Exist, What are Their Oceans Like?"
indianflashWhile #liquidwater is absent today, the whereabouts of the #redplanet’s #water reservoirs, either evaporated into #space or hidden within the #planet, remain enigmatic.

A carbon-lite atmosphere could be a sign of water and life on other terrestrial planets, study finds
Scientists at MIT, the University of Birmingham, and elsewhere say that astronomers' best chance of finding liquid water, and even life on other planets, is to look for the absence, rather than the presence, of a chemical feature in their atmospheres.
