Going digging for ice NASA is packing its things and getting ready for an ice-hunting trip to Mars. The space agency says it is preparing for the August 3 launch of the Phoenix lander, the first NASA mission specifically designed to touch and analyse water on the dwarf planet. The aim is to discover whether or not there are areas on the Martian surface that could, even now, harbour Martian microbes.â¦

UC Davis/- The recent crash of NASA's Genesis space probe may have looked like bad news for scientists, but its cargo of particles captured from the sun should still yield useful information, according to Qing-Zhu Yin, a planetary scientist at UC Davis.     Yin, who is not directly affiliated with the Genesis mission, studies the composition of meteorites to learn about the formation of the solar system...
