A comprehensive review by leading scientists about our Solar System which speculates on the possibility of life on other planets has been published.   view more (2006-09-13)

Mars -- Red Planet once blue planet
A team of Canadian and U.S. researchers have uncovered evidence that ragged, kilometre-high undulating features on the surface of Mars were shorelines of massive ancient oceans that once covered one-third of the planet in water.   view more (2007-06-14)

Mars and Venus are surprisingly similar
Using two ESA spacecraft, planetary scientists are watching the atmospheres of Mars and Venus being stripped away into space. The simultaneous observations by Mars Express and Venus Express give scientists the data they need to investigate the evolution of the two planets' atmospheres.   view more (2008-03-06)

Industry asked to design Mars rover and payload
Is there life on other worlds or is planet Earth the only place in our Solar System where living organisms have evolved? ESA is inviting European and Canadian industry to participate in its exciting ExoMars mission in order to provide an answer to this age-old question. On 9 July, the Aurora... view more (2003-07-22)

Vehicle poised to advance exploration on Mars
Pioneering research carried out by Kingston University is helping to pave the way for a manned mission to Mars. A project team based at the University's School of Engineering has developed a robotic micro-rover to travel the Martian surface to find out whether humans could live in the Red Planet's... view more (2003-05-01)

Space Sunshade Might Be Feasible in Global Warming Emergency
The possibility that global warming will trigger abrupt climate change is something people might not want to think about.   view more (2006-11-06)

Earth-like planets may be more common than once thought, says new U. of Colorado-Penn State study
More than one-third of the giant planet systems recently detected outside Earth's solar system may harbor Earth-like planets, many covered in deep oceans with potential for life.   view more (2006-09-08)

Study Shows Lack of National Consensus on Teaching K-12 Students about Human-Environmental Impacts
The destruction caused by natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina and human activities such as mountaintop removal mining are powerful examples of how the environment and society are tightly interwoven.   view more (2006-06-30)

Water at Martian south pole
Thanks to ESA's Mars Express, we now know that Mars has vast fields of perennial water ice, stretching out from the south pole of the Red Planet. Astronomers have known for years that Mars possessed polar ice caps, but early attempts at chemical analysis suggested only that the northern cap could... view more (2004-03-18)

Can Biosensors Find Life On Mars?
Is there life on Mars? Thanks to a £60k grant from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), a team from Cranfield University and the University of Leicester will try and find the answer. The team, led by Dr David Cullen from Cranfield's Biotechnology Centre and Dr Mark... view more (2001-11-27)

Oceans are 70% shark free
Marine scientists have discovered that the deepest oceans of the world would appear to be shark free.   view more (2006-02-22)

GOCE Earth Explorer satellite to look at the Earth's surface and core
The European Space Agency is about to launch the most sophisticated mission ever to investigate the Earth's gravitational field and to map the reference shape of our planet - the geoid - with unprecedented resolution and accuracy.   view more (2008-08-25)

New policies needed to combat Global Change, says Commissioner Wallström
Never before have policy makers faced a more challenging task than responding to global change, said EU Environment Commissioner Margot Wallström, in an article in the International Herald Tribune today (http://www.iht.com/articles/125563.html) and in a statement made for the launch of a new... view more (2004-01-20)

B2MIN9: Beagle 2 Teams Continue Efforts To Communicate With The Lander
Scientists are still waiting to hear from the Beagle 2 lander on Mars. Two attempts to communicate with Beagle 2 during the last 24 hours - first with the 250 ft (76 m) Lovell Telescope at Jodrell Bank Observatory in Cheshire, UK, and then this morning with the Mars Odyssey orbiter - ended without... view more (2003-12-27)

NASA'S Cassini spacecraft captures Saturnian moon ballet
The cold, icy orbs of the Saturn system come to life in a slew of new movie clips showing the ringed planet's moons in motion.   view more (2006-06-22)

Rare high-altitude clouds found on Mars
Planetary scientists have discovered the highest clouds above any planetary surface. They found them above Mars using the SPICAM instrument on board ESA's Mars Express spacecraft. The results are a new piece in the puzzle of how the Martian atmosphere works.   view more (2006-08-29)

Sailing the planets: Exploring Mars with guided balloons
Mars rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, have, by now, spent almost two years on the surface of Mars. They traveled several miles each, frequently stopping and analyzing scientific targets with their cameras, spectrometers and other instruments to uncover evidence of liquid water on Mars in the past.   view more (2005-09-27)

Asteroids: treasures of the past and a threat to the future
If a large asteroid such as the recently identified 2004 VD17 - about 500 m in diameter with a mass of nearly 1000 million tonnes-collides with the Earth it could spell disaster for much of our planet.   view more (2006-04-04)

Active submarine volcanoes found near Fiji
Several huge active submarine volcanoes, spreading ridges and rift zones have been discovered northeast of Fiji by a team of Australian and American scientists aboard the Marine National Facility Research Vessel, Southern Surveyor.   view more (2008-06-19)

Cold storage solution for global warming?
Researchers from the University of Leicester and the British Geological Society (BGS) have proposed storing CO2 in huge underground reservoirs as a way of reducing emissions- and have even identified sites in Western Europe that would be suitable.   view more (2007-02-07)

Double Planet Meets Triple Star
High-Resolution VLT Image of Pluto Event on July 20, 2002 A rare celestial phenomenon involving the distant planet Pluto has occurred twice within the past month.
