The findings reported in the journal Geochemical Perspectives Letters suggest the Moon accreted from ejecta debris some 4.46 billion years ago – 40 million years earlier than the 4.425 billion years previously thought. *Curiosity rover finds new evidence of ancient Mars rivers, a key signal for life New analysis of data from NASA’s Mars Curiosity rover suggests that many of the craters on Mars today could once have hosted habitable rivers. The findings reported in the journal Geophysical Research Letters are based on numerical models which simulate erosion on Mars over millennia. *The Science Report The world is heading toward six global warming tipping points past which the planet’s systems will no longer be able to cope.
