Fire!!no, water!!!no, ice!!!Phoenix lander confirms presence of ice on Mars

Discussioni in lab...se c'è acqua c'è vita!!quando la terra si esaurirà andremo tutti su marte ...!!!e dire che i miei amici scrittori di science fiction l'avevano sempre detto!!!!



WASHINGTON: Scientists rejoiced on Friday after the Phoenix Mars lander confirmed their long-held belief that ice is hiding under the surface in the Red Planet's northern region.
The lander's robotic arm started digging trenches into Martian soil after touching down near the planet's north pole on May 25, revealing a white substance that scientists had said could be either salt or ice. ( Watch )
Phoenix flexed its arm again to enlarge a trench on June 15. It then took pictures of eight bright bits of material the size of dice inside the hole, which scientists dubbed "Dodo-Goldilocks."
When the lander took new photographs of the trench four days later on Thursday, the material had vanished, settling the debate about whether it was salt or ice.
Scientists at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California concluded that the material was frozen water that evaporated when exposed to the sun. Salt would not have reacted that way, scientists said.
"We found what we were looking for," Phoenix science team member Mark Lemmon said in a news conference. "We came to this site because we were expected to find water ice."
Scientists believed that a vast sheet of ice was hiding in the planet's north pole after NASA's Mars Odyssey surveyed it in 2002.
"If you had a big broom and swept this area off, we are on an icesheet," said Phoenix Principal Investigator Peter Smith of the University of Arizona, Tucson.
"We have found the proof that we have been seeking that showed that this bright material really is water ice, and not another substance," Smith said.
"Now we know for sure that we are on an icy surface and we can really meet the science goal of our mission at the highest level," he said.
Besides evidence of water, the three-month Phoenix mission is also hoping to find life-supporting organic minerals in the polar region.
The probe is equipped with oven-like instruments that can melt any ice collected by the robotic arm and analyze the water.
The trick, Smith said, is for Phoenix to move ice samples fast enough from the ground into one of the lander's eight ovens within 30 minutes before it evaporates in the atmosphere.
"Just the fact that there's ice there doesn't tell you if it's habitable," he said.
"With ice and no food it's not a habitable zone. We don't eat rocks. We have to have carbon chain materials that we ingest into our bodies to create new cells and give us energy. That's what we eat and that's what has to be there if you're going to have a habitable zone on Mars."
Water filtered down on Mars may have left its mark on surrounding minerals, and impurities in the ice could tell a great deal about the climactic history of this region of the planet.
Mars is currently too cold for liquid water but it is possible that in some distant past the polar regions were warmer, scientists posit.
Water is a main ingredient for life and the polar region at some point may have been habitable: that is a puzzle Phoenix is exploring.
Phoenix's robotic arm made contact in another trench on Thursday with a hard surface scientists believe could be an icy layer.
"We have dug a trench and uncovered a hard layer at the same depth as the ice layer in our other trench," said Ray Arvidson of Washington University in St. Louis, co-investigator for the robotic arm.
After trying to crack further into it, the arm became immobilized, which is the expected programmed reaction for when it hits a hard surface.

Italia Spagna...we could do it!!!!

ai rigori ...ce l'avevamo quasi fatta!!!!!!!!!!!

SAME-SEX MARRIAGE...Il primo matrimonio qui in SF

Wave of weddings for Bay Area same-sex couples

23:23 PDT San Francisco -- Uttering the two simple words "I do," dozens of same-sex couples were wed in the Bay Area on Monday evening as California became the second state in the nation to grant marriage rights to gay men and lesbians.

County clerks braced for an even bigger rush of couples who will tie the knot today when all 58 counties in the state begin issuing marriage licenses that no longer designate "bride" and "groom" but instead "party A" and "party B."

A crowd gathered Monday evening at the Sonoma County clerk's office in Santa Rosa, including 19 same-sex couples who had made appointments to marry. The crowd counted down the last seconds to 5:01 p.m., when the state Supreme Court's decision allowing the marriages took effect.

Mark Gren and Chris Lechman of Guerneville were the first couple to apply for a marriage license and wed.

"Now, by the power vested in me and in accordance with the laws of the state of California, it is my pleasure and honor to pronounce you married," Sonoma County Clerk Janice Atkinson told the couple.

In San Francisco, 200 couples have made appointments to obtain marriage licenses today at City Hall, said Karen Hong, director of the county clerk's office. Longtime lesbian-rights pioneers Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon were the only couple wed there Monday.

So far, 2,303 same-sex couples have appointments to obtain a marriage license in the next 90 days in San Francisco. Nearly 1,800 of those couples will have their ceremony at City Hall, Hong said. She expects the rush of applicants for marriage licenses to level off over the next few weeks.

In Oakland on Monday night, Kenneth Latham and Keith Boadwee of Emeryville joined hands and looked into each other's eyes as they recited wedding vows to become the first same-sex couple married in Alameda County. They have been together 10 years and one month.

"We've been together so long we know what it means to be a couple," Boadwee said. "However, now that we have the legal protection, wherever we go throughout the state, people will recognize it."

Besides San Francisco, Sonoma and Alameda counties, weddings also were performed Monday night in Yolo and Los Angeles counties.

Like San Francisco, Los Angeles County married just one couple. Robin Tyler and Diane Olson, who were plaintiffs in the landmark marriage case, exchanged their vows in a traditional Jewish ceremony in Beverly Hills.

"We're not nervous. We've known each other 15 years," Tyler said.

Even as dozens of couples exchanged vows around the state, many more worked on last-minute wedding plans.

Salvador Valles and Dean Jansen, who live in New York City and have been together 14 years, are returning to San Francisco, where they first met, to pick up a marriage license. They'll marry in a ceremony this evening at a friend's Berkeley home.

They are registered domestic partners in California and New York but have never held any type of commitment ceremony.

"We really wanted to wait until we could get married," Valles said. They have worn rings on their right ring fingers and plan to put new rings on their left hands today.

"I can't wait to introduce him to others as my husband," Jansen said.

Protesters are expected in droves today outside county clerks' offices in several California counties. People opposed to same-sex marriage gathered on the sidewalk outside of San Francisco City Hall on Monday night but were quickly outnumbered by supporters of the unions.

A woman from the church of Kansas pastor Fred Phelps - whose followers are known for their harsh anti-gay rhetoric - stood behind police barricades in Civic Center, holding derogatory signs and singing songs with her two children. Someone else drove around the block in a truck painted to look like an American flag that read, "Sodomy is sin."

One of the protesters, Luong Bo, said he drove up from San Jose. Bo held a giant sign that read, "Homo sex is a threat to national security."

Others were there to support the couples. One man strummed a guitar and sang "The Chapel of Love," while Kathryn Werhane threw rose petals on some of the protesters.
"We want to support these weddings - it's love and tolerance for real," she said. "Any proclamation of love is good with us. Why are they crashing our party?"
