Mars atmosphere discovery |
|
|
Astronomers have detected hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the atmosphere of Mars for the first time. This is the first time that a chemical catalyst of this sort has been found in a planetary atmosphere other than the Earth's. Catalysts control the reactions of the most important chemical cycles in the Earth's atmosphere. The result shows that scientists' knowledge of the Earth's atmosphere can be used to explain the chemistry of atmospheres on other planets, and vice versa.

Very few people (outside of JPL and NASA, I presume) are aware of the signifigance of much of what is being learned from the data sent back from those probes. Sagan would be ecstatic. _________________ ∆ Cyx ∆

You know, I literally could not ask to be alive at any other time in history. I love it! All of it, the music, the science, the prosperity... if only it weren't for those pesky politics and global problems. We need to fix those. Maybe Mars will yield tools to accomplish this, but I doubt it. The tools we develop are so rarely put to positive use, and virtually never for the less fortunate 80% of the global poplulation. _________________ ∆ Cyx ∆

Someone should tell that 80% of the population that they should cut their hair, get a job and get their act together. Stupid fucks! _________________ A Charity Pantomime in aid of Paranoid Schizophrenics descended into chaos yesterday when someone shouted, "He's behind you!"
