Today’s best thing ever…

Fierce Planet Posted on August 5, 2012 by jnfrAugust 5, 2012

Sometime later today NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory will attempt to land the newest Mars Rover, Curiosity. After 253 days and 352 million miles in space, Curiosity will go through an impressive but terrifying landing procedure, and if all goes well will begin its task of spending one Martian year (687 earth days) performing various scientific investigations. At the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, I saw a recreation of one of the earlier Rovers and I was surprised at how large they are. Even the earlier ones were as tall as I am. Curiosity is larger still, over 7 feet … Continue reading →

The light will come again!

Fierce Planet Posted on December 22, 2011 by jnfrDecember 22, 2011

Solstice is my favorite holiday, with its assurance that spring will arrive again, even if it seems far off at this moment. When darkness is at its strongest, the tide turns and the sun begins its inevitable return. From here on out, the days slowly grow longer. It’s a powerful metaphor. And I love the 2011 White House Holiday Card. When we were in D.C., and took a White House tour, we got to see both Bo and President Obama in person. It was great fun and a real honor. This card is warm and loving, and I hope that … Continue reading →

No life

Fierce Planet Posted on February 18, 2005 by jnfrFebruary 18, 2005

NASA says. NASA does not have any observational data from any current Mars missions that supports this claim. The work by the scientists mentioned in the reports cannot be used to directly infer anything about life on Mars, but may help formulate the strategy for how to search for martian life. Their research concerns extreme environments on Earth as analogs of possible environments on Mars. No research paper has been submitted by them to any scientific journal asserting martian life.

Life on Mars?

Fierce Planet Posted on February 16, 2005 by jnfrFebruary 16, 2005

NASA Researchers think so. A pair of NASA scientists told a group of space officials at a private meeting here Sunday that they have found strong evidence that life may exist today on Mars, hidden away in caves and sustained by pockets of water. Their work is being peer-reviewed now, and should be presented in Nature later this spring.
