Listening to: Hurt Me Soul - Lupe Fiasco

So the NASA announcement was pretty big:

NASA photographs have revealed bright new deposits seen in two gullies on Mars that suggest water carried sediment through them sometime during the past seven years.

Again, another of these really exciting finds that are busting open a lot of the assumptions we have about our solar system… love it!

UPDATE: The BBC story.

UPODATE 2: On a related Mars note… the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has sent back a bunch of images of other Mars landers:

New images have been released of past and present US landing craft on the surface of Mars taken by Nasa’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) probe.

The Spirit rover, which touched down in 2004, as well as both Viking landers, sent to explore the Red Planet in the 1970s, can be seen in the new images.
