NASA News at www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?release=2011-242&cid=release_2011-242 claims they have discovered water on Mars – briny water that flows in spring but disappears in the winter. However, the images are in regions too cold for water yet some kind of volatile has been detected – hence the idea of salty water.
At www.physorg.com/print231669586.html we hear that NASA is reporting two active regions on the Sun, or in general terms, two sunspots have sprouted and a solar flare is being predicted.
