Martian Life in Last Lake Found by Scientists?

Posted on August 13, 2015

mars

Interesting speculation from Business Insider:

A trio of scientists says they’ve identified the best place to look for evidence of ancient life on Mars — one of the youngest lake-bearing basins ever discovered.

Now, some of this has to be discounted beause actors always say the character was intriguing, the director was fantastic, and so on. Okay — we get that.

HERE'S OUR TARZAN.BEING A COMPLETE FULL FLEDGED ACTOR

Great news bit from yahoo yesterday in case you msissed it:

Alexander Skarsgård Dressed Like Farrah Fawcett for ‘Diary of a Teenage Girl’ Premiere Alexander Skarsgård, center, with actress Bel Powley, left, and director Marielle Heller at the San Francisco premiere of The Diary Of a Teenage Girl. Alexander Skarsgård is a beautiful man — and makes a stunning woman. At the premiere of his new movie, The Diary of a Teenage Girl, on Monday night, the Swedish actor walked the red carpet at San Francisco’s Castro Theater in a floor-length gold dress. He paired the gown with crystal-embellished heels — even though he’s 6 feet 4 inches without them — carried a silver clutch, and accessorized with large gold hoop earrings. He also had on a feathered blonde wig and full face of makeup, including fake eyelashes, blushed cheeks, and a statement pink lip.

Pluto gets a new fly-by from NASA after a long time!

Posted on July 15, 2015

Image of Pluto from the Long Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) aboard NASA's New Horizons spacecraft

Fans of the forgotten dwarf-planet rejoice!

NASA’s New Horizons probe flew by Pluto this morning (July 14), capturing history’s first up-close looks at the far-flung world — if all went according to plan.

Closest approach came at 7:49 a.m. EDT (1149 GMT), when the spacecraft whizzed within 7,800 miles (12,500 kilometers) of Pluto’s frigid surface. To celebrate, NASA unveiled the latest photo of Pluto, showing a reddish world with a stunning heart-shaped feature on its face.
