Scientists have discovered recent glacial activity near the Martian equator. *Where did Earth’s water come from Water makes up 71% of Earth’s surface, but no one knows how or when such massive quantities of water arrived on Earth. *CHEOPS mission extended After more than three years in orbit, the European…

Well, there have been lots of hints, but now astronomers have finally discovered direct geological evidence of current volcanic activity on the surface of Venus. The findings are based on a detailed reexamination of archival radar images of Venus taken more than 30 years ago in the 1990s by NASA's…
