NASA to Announce Mars Mystery Solved
https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa ... ry-solved/
5.30 GMT on Monday, Sept. 28
could it be :
1- finding Amoeba on mars
2- finding water
3- the grand grand grand father of humanity from mars
4- imprints of a UFO vehicle
5- cake with chocolates inside
interesting that this BIG announcement timed with the event the
End of the world' Blood Moon tonight
http://www.express.co.uk/news/science/6 ... r-armchair
and don't forget the recent announcement that the universe will end in a
BIG RIP and not with a BIG CRUNCH
this is the result of the accelerating and expanding universe, in one second the space itself will be torn apart together with our brain cells and everything : suitable more for the movie makers than the big crunch
just search big rip theory

Well it seems there wont be a big crunch because of the increasing rate of expansion, but does that stretching necessarily mean it'll end in a rip? the last video i watched about that Brian Cox said as far as we can tell the universe as we know it will go on forever. He also gave an excellent analogy to make sense of how the universe is expanding at an
increasing rate... basically think of the universe like a lump of dough in the oven with raisins in it ... all the raisins are moving away from each other as the dough rises in all directions, but the ones closest to you move away slower than the ones further away
even i can make sense of that! heehee
Cant wait to hear this NASA announcement!!! it seems it is "major"
still over 24hrs away though, i cant wait that long
lol
My $2.50 is on liquid water!
There is much speculation that the mystery to be addressed is the phenomena known as 'recurring slope lineae', the dark tendrils observed on the planet surface during warm seasons, which it is speculated is evidence of water.
Among those speaking at the briefing will be Alfred McEwen from the University of Arizona in Tucson, who in July published a study on slope activity in Mars's Gale crater, and Lujendra Ojha, a PhD candidate from the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta who has collaborated with McEwen and has also studied the possible water activity on Mars.
Science and technology website Inverse.com highlighted Ojha as "the odd-person out at the news conference", pointing out that it was Ojha's undergraduate research that helped identify the recurring slope lineae.
The existence of water would be significant as it would mean there was a prospect of life on Mars.

Thanks for the live-link

I'm happy looking forward to survive another doomsdays ...
it wouldn't be the first for me

1 hour to go (11:30am EST) before a major milestone in the history of humanity!
I will be watching the event from the primates exhibit at my local zoo to gauge their reaction

keya win, it is the water, indeed i was wishing it is a kind of living being such as bacteria, or that the flying spoon
http://news.discovery.com/space/curiosi ... 150901.htm is a soup spoon. so i will wait for the next announcement with some disappointment.
but if our universe contains billions of galaxies and every galaxy made from billions of stars then there is a big hope that hundreds of planets have life.
and if the universe is just a member from a bigger entity called multiverse which contains billions of universes, and that the multiverse is a member of a super multiverse, ... ad infinitum. then it is absurd to not be sure 100% that there is life somewhere (in trillions) and even one of these civilizations have just now (just now: and don't believe Einstein completely ) a purebasic version 5.40 beta 7.
for more info about the multiverse look

It sucks we don't have the vehicles manufactured to go to the more interesting planets. Mars and others it's pretty obvious will have microbes at best..
I can see terraforming being planned within 50 years for Mars which is only really cool because it's a new frontier unless wealthy people just claim it all before a migration.
Whoever is the majority military power on Earth will probably regulate it. You'll be able to see a McDonalds sign with a cheap telescope.

There's no way to know.
There could be life below the surface, there could be life in underground oceans on the moons of the gas giants. But it's also possible that life on earth is unique.

If there is enough water under-water life could be engineered that release gases and build a atmosphere. I know this has something to do with the core though and magnetism.

It's alive... ALIIIVE!
Stability of liquid water...
0C to 100C - pure H²O on the surface of Earth/sea level
0C to 71C - pure H²O at the top of Mt Everest on Earth
0C to 10C - pure H²O on the surface of Mars
-70C to 24C - perchlorate-brine salty water on surface of Mars
Differing in situ values have been reported for the average temperature on Mars, with a common value being −55 °C (218 K; −67 °F). Surface temperatures may reach a high of about 20 °C (293 K; 68 °F) at noon, at the equator, and a low of about −153 °C (120 K; −243 °F) at the poles. Actual temperature measurements at the Viking landers' site range from −17.2 °C (256.0 K; 1.0 °F) to −107 °C (166 K; −161 °F). The warmest soil temperature estimated by the Viking Orbiter was 27 °C (300 K; 81 °F). The Spirit rover recorded a maximum daytime air temperature in the shade of 35 °C (308 K; 95 °F), and regularly recorded temperatures well above 0 °C (273 K; 32 °F), except in winter.

This is no surprise, if indeed true. The formation of any planet would would require a heating and cooling process. As for life, I think not. It takes a lot more than water to create life. The insufficient oxygen levels is an obvious analysis of Mars.

0.146% oxygen, perhaps just enough for a hardcore plant/algae/lychen etc to begin photosynthesis to generate the rest for its needs!?
no shortage of carbon dioxide for them to breathe at least @ 96%!

The only way to solve that would be to plant a seed or some form of bacteria on Mars. Then again, that would be bringing life to Mars to see if it could survive and not discovering what is already there, if any. Therefor would not be considered an "alien life form", if that is indeed what NASA is looking for? Either way, we can not even solve our own issues on Earth. Why try to create another form of chaos on another planet? Just my thoughts anyway. I think the money spent on this kind of stuff could be better used else where.

No doubt that there is life in this universe. It's wrong to assume it only occured on a single interstellar body.
I'm glad we can't reach them as we would only annex, suppress, rob and destroy them.
... so they may live happy ever after
ps: as far as I know is the movement of stone / sand / dust ... no sign of life.

im still excited about the possibility of microbial life because of the amazing extremophiles theyve found on earth... and hopefully we find them before we put any boots on the ground
