Mars’s Icy North Pole There’s a good explanation for why life may exist on Mars. In the Earth’s past there was powerful volcanic activity which could have easily spewed dirt and rocks containing microbes into outer space which not only could have eventually reached Mars but also ended up traveling in orbit through space that we now know as meteors. A Newsweek article of September... 

Can there be life on Mars, at least in the form of micro-organisms? Scientists have not been able to answer this question clearly. What if they could do the opposite – simulate “Martian” conditions for terrestrial bacteria in a laboratory and see if they survive? Such an experiment was designed by a group of researchers from the University of Padua (Italy). Once, Soviet astronomer... 

Italian man, Matteo Ianneo has just discovered something new on Mars, this time is not a human face but an earthly animal. A giant drawing on the endless sands of Mars which resembles a horse. It can be found via Google Earth on Mars at the following coordinates: 29° 4’29.31″N – 60° 8’56.87″W. Watch the following images and let us know what you think.  Read More »

Matteo Ianneo On May 2nd, we have announced mr. Matteo’s second discovery while we were told that shortly afterward he will reveal us his third discovery which make things even more curious. Mr Matteo Ianneo is a 46 years old man from Italy who is interested in finding out some answers about these mysterious Martian faces. He is not claiming that there is currently life on Mars but instead he... 

It was just few days ago that 46 year old Matteo Ianneo from Italy discovered a weird human face on Mars. Now he has contacted us to let us know that there are actually more of these faces on Mars, while he promises to reveal even more stunning details. This could alter the history of humans forever. If it is true, and it’s highly likely to be true because these images are from Google Mars,... 

Wow this is some find! It was sent to us from Matteo Ianneo in Italy. Bravo. Sure looks like a face to me. The coordinates, Latitude 33°12’29.82″N, Longitude 12°55’51.21″W, are confirmed and are found in the Google map of Mars. Forty-six year old Ianneo says he is passionate about the riddles of Mars. He is from from the Puglia Region and the town of Cerignola (FG). Ianneo... 

Click on the image to enlarge it. NASA scientists recently discovered an underground dry ice lake containing more carbon dioxide than originally thought. The trapped carbon dioxide is thought to have come from the planet’s atmosphere earlier in its history when it was conducive for life on Mars to exist. “It really is a buried treasure,” said Jeffrey Plaut, a scientist of the NASA... 

One giant leap: This artistic impression shows what a mission to the asteroid may look like after NASA announced it hopes to land on one by 2025. The moon has had its day and Mars is just, well, too far away. Nasa plans to put a man on an asteroid by 2025 in a real-life version of the film Armageddon. Astronauts will embark on a six-month mission to land on a lump of rock around the size of a building... 

A new word is launched in Russia: a Marsonaut. The six members of the simulation programme for a visit to Mars have started the third phase of the experiment, namely a Mars landing followed by the first Mars walk. The Russian flag now flies firmly and proudly on the Red Planet! Work is under way in Russia in the first active tests in the simulation phase of the manned space flight to Mars. The multinational... 

The crewmembers will soon step out on a simulated Martian surface. The crew of the Mars500 simulated mission to the Red Planet have reached a key milestone. The six men, sealed since June inside steel containers representing a spacecraft, have “gone into orbit” at their destination. Three of the group will now “descend” to the planet, don real spacesuits and walk on the “surface”... 

Spirit, the poor Mars Rover that’s been stuck in Martian sand since last year, has actually contributed to a pretty fantastic discovery in its sedentary months: the evidence of subsurface water on Mars. To recap: Spirit, one of two plucky Mars Rovers that had finished their initial missions in 2004 and had embarked upon, as NASA calls them, “bonus missions” ever since, slipped through... 

Six volunteers will today be locked up together in a windowless, mock spaceship for 520 days. The ‘astronauts’ will be trapped inside the capsule for a simulated flight to Mars, and are expected to live and work as if they are on the 43-million mile journey for real. The all-male crew will not endure weightlessness, but from today they will follow a harsh regimen of experiments and exercise. The... 

This stunning picture is the first image of Earth ever taken from another planet that shows our home as a planetary disc, with the Moon in the distance (click on the image to enlarge it) This stunning picture is the first image of Earth ever taken from another planet that shows our home as a planetary disc, with the Moon in the distance. Captured by Nasa’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter as the spacecraft... 

"Biomorphs" found on meteorites traced to Mars have been proposed as evidence that life has existed on the Red Planet. NASA’s Mars Meteorite Research Team reopened a 14-year-old controversy on extraterrestrial life last week, reaffirming and offering support for its widely challenged assertion that a 4-billion-year-old meteorite that landed thousands of years ago on Antarctica shows... 

Mystery ... scientists are already planning more missions to Mars NASA scientists last night unveiled compelling evidence of life on Mars. A special mission to the Red Planet has revealed the likely presence of a form of pond scum – the building blocks of life as we know it. NASA unveiled the results of the recent Opportunity and Spirit probes sent millions of miles through the solar system to...
