• Resource utilization: #Mars is thought to contain a number of valuable resources, including water, minerals, and potentially even fossil fuels. Exploiting these resources could be useful for supporting future human missions to the planet and could also potentially be used to support economic development on Earth.

#TachyonBeam #astronomy #ExoMars #TGO #VallesMarineris An article published in the journal "Icarus" reports the identification of traces of water in the subsoil of the Valles Marineris, the largest system of canyons on the planet #Mars.

C'est pour le moins étonnant que ds son planisphère de #Mars, Giovanni #Schiaparelli ne fait pas apparaître l'immense canyon de #VallesMarineris alors que ds de bonnes conditions, un télescope de 15 cm actuel permet de le distinguer.
Ds sa carte, Valles Marineris devrait entamer Tharsis et Ophyr.
Il faut croire que les télescopes du XIXe siècle étaient de piètre qualité nécessitant de faire appel à l'imagination de l'astronome plus qu'à son objectivité.
