Its hard not to wonder how subsequent events in her life rather consequential as they have turned out to be to conservation, to science, to our sense of ourselves as

4、 a species might have unfolded differently had someone not found her passport, along with an itinerary from Cooks, the travel agency, folded inside, and delivered it to the Cooks office. An agency representative, documents in hand, found her on the dock. “Incredible,” Goodall told me last month, rec

Although the source and the chemistry of the water is unknown, the discovery will change scientists thinking about whether the planet that is most like Earth in the solar system could support present day microbial life.

11、The discovery was made when scientists developed a new technique to analyze chemical maps of the surface of Mars obtained by NASAs Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft. They found telltale fingerprints of salts that form only in the presence of water in narrow channels cut into cliff walls through

12、out the planets equatorial region. The slopes appear during the warm summer months on Mars, then vanish when the temperatures drop. Scientists suspected the streaks were cut by flowing water, but previously had been unable to make the measurements. Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter makes its measurements

13、during the hottest part of the Martian day, so scientists believed any traces of water, or fingerprints from hydrated minerals, would have evaporated. Also, the chemical-sensing instrument on the orbiting spacecraft cannot home in on details as small as the narrow streaks, which typically are less t

Scientists concentrated on the widest streaks and came up with a 100 percent match between their locations and detec
