NASA: Mars once had ocean bigger than Arctic
Analysis of water residue in Martian ice caps indicates that the Red Planet was once, at least partly, blue. Billions of years ago, Mars had a body of water that held more water than Earth’s Arctic Ocean, according to a NASA study published Thursday.
“Our study provides a solid estimate of how much water Mars once had, by determining how much later was lost to space,”said Geronimo Villanueva,...

Russian team takes ice sample from Lake Vostok in searching for life
Nearly a year after Russian researchers reached the unique sub-glacial Lake Vostok, the first sample of transparent ice from its water has been taken. The finding is of great value as it could reveal if the lake harbors life.
The Lake Vostok, isolated by 4-kilometer layer of ice for around the past 20 million years, has been of great interest to scientists since it was first discovered in the 1990s....
NASA says Arctic sea ice is at record low
Arctic sea ice reaches the lowest level ever recorded, NASA says.
The sea ice in the Arctic Ocean has melted to the lowest level ever recorded since it was first measured in 1979, the NASA space agency says.
According to NASA, the sea ice fell to 4.9 million square kilometers as it was observed on Sunday, which is about 80,000 square kilometers less than the earlier record charted on September 18,...
Saturn’s moon has watery ocean under thick ice crust
Cassini’s View of Titan
Titan, one of the most interesting objects in our Solar system, may have an ocean of water beneath its thick ice crust layer. Scientists say large deposits of water drastically increase the possibility of life on the moon.
Saturn’s largest moon Titan is one of the few objects in our system that can boast a true atmosphere. The moon also has developed a climate, with...
20 Million Years Old Antarctic Lake Drilled
It took researches 30 years of drilling through a four-kilometer-thick ice to reach the renowned subglacial lake. Most importantly, million years-old secrets will be unveiled without causing harm to the lake’s ecosystem.
“Yesterday [on Sunday] our scientists at the Vostok polar station in the Antarctic completed drilling at depths of 3,768 meters and reached surface of the subglacial lake,”...

The sun rises two days early in Greenland, sparking fears that climate change is accelerating
Climate change? The sun rose in Ilulissat, Greenland, two days early on Tuesday, ending a month-and-a-half of winter darkness. One theory is that melting ice caps have lowered the horizon allowing the sun to shine through earlier.
The sun over Greenland has risen two days early, baffling scientists and sparking fears that Arctic icecaps are melting faster than previously thought.
Experts say the sun...
