CLIMATE CHANGE IN PROGRESS...ON MARS!
| Quote From Source: | New gullies that did not exist in mid-2002 have appeared on a Martian sand dune.
That's just one of the surprising discoveries that have resulted from the extended life of NASA's Mars Global Surveyor, which this month began its ninth year in orbit around Mars. Boulders tumbling down a Martian slope left tracks that weren't there two years ago. New impact craters formed since the 1970s suggest changes to age-estimating models. And for three Mars summers in a row, deposits of frozen carbon dioxide near Mars' south pole have shrunk from the previous year's size, suggesting a climate change in progress.

| Quote From Source: | Mars 'more active than suspected'
New images of Mars suggest the Red Planet's surface is more active than previously thought, the US space agency (Nasa) reports.
Photographs from Nasa's orbiting spacecraft Mars Global Surveyor show recently formed craters and gullies.

Anyone got the story where they came up with different ways to add an atmosphere to Mars?
Something how, we as humans are warming our planet through global warming, and the methods we could do on mars to do the same, or something along those lines. |
