Evidence of Glaciers on Mars?

Posted by michael on from the downhill-skiing-apparently-popular dept.

cyclop writes "Nature reports that the Mars Express mission has photographed evidence of ancient glaciers on Mars. It seems glaciers have sculpted valleys on the red planet, much like on Earth." Reader macguys writes "Space.com is reporting that the Mars Rover Opportunity has received an unexpected and unexplained power boost of between 2 and 5 percent. The NASA Rover site is so far silent on the boost."

  1. Self-Cleaning System by MTO_B. · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I wonder why the rover doesnt have a self-cleaning system? Didnt anyone at NASA ever think about it???? If it's going to get dirty, and you need it clean to generate energy... why not build a cleaning system???? As it is, it's so pathetic that martians had compassion of us for not including a cleaning system. So much money into it and you cant include a cleaning system???
