Martian Dust Storms Engulf Planet
2247
The surface of Mars is now obscured by a globe-engulfing veil of dust, officials report, posing a potentially longer-lasting threat to the plucky NASA rovers on the planet&#39;s surface.

SAN FRANCISCO: Pictures of Earth-like clouds were captured by Nasa&#39;s Mars rover on Wednesday. Reports also indicate that there&#39;s a rock that doesn&#39;t look like anything scientists have ever seen.

It wasn&#39;t anywhere near as big as Noah&#39;s worldwide flood -- but evidence is pouring in from a Mars-orbiting satellite that a vast plain on the Red Planet must once have held a deep ocean bigger than all the Great Lakes put together.

By Mark K. Matthews The Orlando Sentinel  ORLANDO, Fla. (MCT) -- Recent changes on the surface of Mars resemble the effects of a flash flood, researchers said Wednesday, raising the likelihood that there is water bubbling up to the surface of the red planet.

Three years after the two Mars rovers were expected to stop working, they're still exploring the red planet, having shut down for the better part of two months because of dust storms.

The twin Mars rovers have found a wonderland of weird rocks and enticing dunes along with more evidence the Red Planet once had water, NASA scientists said Wednesday.

The twin rovers  on Mars are in good shape today despite widespread dust storms that worsened last week  and threatened to cut off solar power to the robotic explorers.

Recent analyses of ESAÃ¢ÂÂs Mars Express data reveal that concentrations of water vapour and methane in the atmosphere of Mars significantly overlap. This result provides important new hints to evaluate the hypothesis of present life on the Red Planet.

NASA's Opportunity Mars rover has come across  an interesting object&nbsp;-- perhaps a meteorite sitting out in the open at Meridiani  Planum. Initial data taken by the robot's Mini-Thermal Emission Spectrometer  (Mini-TES) is suggestive that the odd-looking rock is made of  metal.

Skies clear, but dust poses new threat Giant dust storms that have pinned the Mars rovers down for the last six weeks are beginning to lift, allowing the two explorers to restart their slow crawl over the red planet's surface.â¦

New observations of dust around young stars suggests collisions of large asteroid-like objects and fledgling planets are frequent. But that doesn't likely stop the formation of rocky planets like Earth, a process that may well be common, the results suggest.
