Sky watchers are in for a treat this summer as Mars is about to become closer to Earth than it has done for 15 years.
The Mars Close Approach, which happens around every 26 months when the Red Planet and Earth are nearest to each other in their orbits around the sun, will be even closer this year. Mars comes closest to the earth in over decade on July 30-31 and so should be visible with a bright red colour in the sky the brightest it has been in over decade.
Sensational and game changing finding on Mars due to the European Space agency using radar images going deep down over a kilometer Italian Scientists have discovered a 20 km wide lake of cold water.
Scientists had suspected what is called subsurface frost for decades and the question was is this sufficient to trigger life formation. The American Viking Spacecrafts made a detailed examination of the surface of mars for microbial life but could not conclude that it existed. Now this is nothing short of sensational for two separate reasons.
