NASA: Is life-giving water flowing on Mars?

An image combining orbital imagery with 3-D modeling shows flows that appear in spring and summer on a slope inside Mars' Newton crater. Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Univ. of Arizona

New images from an orbiting probe appear to show seasonal water flow on the surface of Mars, among the strongest evidence yet of a possible habitat for Martian life

Europa’s hidden ice chemistry

The frigid ice of Jupiter’s moon Europa may be hiding more than a presumed ocean: it is likely the scene of some unexpectedly fast chemistry

‘Habitable’ planet found

This undated handout artist rendering provided by Lynette Cook, National Science Foundation, shows a new planet, right. Astronomers have found a planet that is in the Goldilocks zone _ just right for life. Not too hot, not too cold. Not too far from its sun, not too close. And it is near Earth _ relatively speaking, at 120 trillion miles. It also makes scientists think that these examples of habitable planets are far more common than they thought.

U.S. astronomers said on Wednesday they have discovered an Earth-sized planet that they think might be habitable, orbiting a nearby star

Scientists: Comet impact did not cause mammoths to die out
