Mars: Nasa images show signs
of flowing water
Striking new images from the
mountains of Mars may be the best evidence yet of flowing, liquid
water, an essential ingredient for life.
The findings, reported today in the journal Science, come from a
joint US-Swiss study.
A sequence of images from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter show many
long, dark "tendrils" a few metres wide.
They emerge between rocky outcrops and flow hundreds of metres down
steep slopes towards the plains below.
They appear on hillsides warmed by the summer sun, flow around
obstacles and sometimes split or merge, but when winter returns,
the tendrils fade away.
This suggests that they are made of thawing mud, say the
researchers.

the strength of the US economic recovery and the eurozone debt

coming weeks.

and the possible repercussions for the global economy, stock
markets have been under pressure for a while."

【Vampire bats are unique among bats in regurgitating blood
into the mouths of their colony mates】
Scientists have identified the heat-sensitive facial nerves used by
vampire bats to detect their next meal.
The nerves allow bats to pinpoint where the blood flows closest to
their prey's skin so they can feed more efficiently.
Vampire bats are among a handful of animals that use infrared
sensors to locate their next meal, but are unique in the way they
do it.
The findings are reported in the journal Nature.
