12 Oct 00:00:09 | Universe Today
From some viewpoints, Mars is kind of like a skeleton of Earth. We can see that it had volcanoes, oceans, and rivers, but the volcanoes no longer fume and the water is all gone. A new image from the ESA’s Mars Express drives the point home. The new image is of Nirgal Vallis, one of …

11 Oct 00:00:13 | Universe Today
The Moon has abundant oxygen and minerals, things that are indispensable to any space-faring civilization. The problem is they’re locked up together in the regolith. Separating the two will provide a wealth of critical resources, but separating them is a knotty problem. The Moon’s regolith varies from 2 meters (6.5 ft.) deep in mare regions, …
