tarfonwxx (OP) User ID: 28221753 United States 11/29/2012 02:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's Official! Water Ice Discovered on Mercury Temperatures on Mercury can reach 800 degrees Fahrenheit (427 degrees Celsius), but around the north pole, in areas permanently shielded from the sun's heat, NASA's Messenger spacecraft found a mix of frozen water and possible organic materials. The find is so enticing that NASA will direct Messenger's observation toward that area in the coming months — when the angle of the sun allows — to get a better look, said Gregory Neumann, a Messenger instrument scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 28727034 Brazil 11/29/2012 03:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | so, can we say now that, around and close the sun, is not so hot? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28727034 oh yeah 400 degrees c isn't hot at all I'm not saying inside the planet smartass, but outside it. maybe the hot and temperatury is the interation between the sun rays and the atmosphere of the planet. but who knows? I tend to not believe in NASA anyway. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 19156676 United States 11/29/2012 03:06 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | anybody know if mercury is closer or farther away than mars? also if mercury has water how about venus? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 19156676 closer. don't know about venus. have we looked at the poles there? From wikipedie [link to en.wikipedia.org] Despite the harsh conditions on the surface, the atmospheric pressure and temperature at about 50 km to 65 km above the surface of the planet is nearly the same as that of the Earth, making its upper atmosphere the most Earth-like area in the Solar System, even more so than the surface of Mars. Due to the similarity in pressure and temperature and the fact that breathable air (21% oxygen, 78% nitrogen) is a lifting gas on Venus in the same way that helium is a lifting gas on Earth, the upper atmosphere has been proposed as a location for both exploration and colonization This mercury news has excited me to know end! I'm ready to hear the news from curiosity when NASA announces it. |

Sure sounds expensive though....maybe we should be more frugal with our remaining ice. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 28391076 United States 11/29/2012 03:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | We were all taught by the quote "Expert Scientists" that the sun is a nuclear reaction or plasma stuff.... The sun is not hot. Through atmospheres and other supernatural stuff. Each planet creates its own filter to generate a climate. Is there life in our solar system...Yep. Lots of it and it is sentient and well aware of Earth...the quarentined prison school for wayward souls in need of tweaking. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1110734 United States 11/30/2012 04:00 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The discovery of water-ice on Mercury is very significant. Water has been linked to life of all kinds, and given the discovery of unusual life forms located in diverse places deep in the ocean, or bacteria that like extremely hot environments like thermophiles, or ones that can live without oxygen (anaerobic) bacteria, or ones that can live in normally toxic salty water (halophiles), or methanogens that live in methane, some live in hot springs, etc. "Some microbes, fungi, and live in very harsh environoments are these are called archaea". [link to www.agu.org] [link to staff.fcps.net] Now which viruses are not life forms, they're more like nanorobots in truth that insert their genetic code into higher life forms to replicate. They've been found in the frozen seas and in incredibly diverse ways. The discovery means that life could potentially exist on other planets. It's a monumental discovery, and one that should make people hopeful. |

So is this the big announcement we where suppose to be told? Water on mercury? Does not move me and nothing NASA has done to justify wasted tax dollars. A few rovers on mars and still NASA can't tell us SHIT! Why did they put that VW in a crater it might not crawl out of instead of Cydonia? Fuckers. |
