And now for a moment with the astro-nerd
We interrupt this program for a special news report:
-A giant lake of water ice has been discovered on Mars, thus providing more evidence that Mars once had flowing water. It's located at the south pole of the planet. And from the pics I've seen, it's HUGE.
-Cassini, the probe inserted into Saturn's orbit, has confirmed the presence of liquid lakes on Titan. Titan, the only known moon with a nitrogen-rich atmosphere, has a methane lake that's roughly the size of the Caspian Sea. It's not the only lake as other smaller lakes have been discovered as well.
And that's all for the astronomy update.
I now return you to your regularly scheduled program of stuff.
