>Deciphering Mars: Follow the Water
>http://www.astrobio.net/news/article1709.html
>
>Dr. Jack Farmer of Arizona State University is an astrobiologist whose
>attention is often focused on Mars. Farmer is a longtime member of a
>community of scientists working to understand both the geologic history of
>Mars and the planet's potential to support life. At the recent Earth System
>Processes II conference, Farmer gave a talk on the current state of
>understanding about Mars: what we know and what we'd like to know. In this,
>the first of a three-part series, he explains why "following the water" is
>central to NASA's program of Mars exploration.

>Using primitive meteorites called chondrites as their models, earth and
>planetary scientists at Washington University in St. Louis have performed
>outgassing calculations and shown that the early Earth's atmosphere was a
>reducing one, chock full of methane, ammonia, hydrogen and water vapor.

>When planetary scientists announced on July 29 that they had discovered a
>new planet larger than Pluto, the news overshadowed the two other objects
>the group had also found. But all three objects are odd additions to the
>solar system, and as such could revolutionize our understanding of how our
>part of the celestial neighborhood evolved.

>Painting Comets
>http://www.astrobio.net/news/article1706.html
>
>Painting by the numbers is a good description of how scientists create
>pictures of everything from atoms in our bodies to asteroids and comets in
>our solar system. Researchers involved in NASA's Deep Impact mission have
>been doing this kind of work since the mission's July 4th collision with
>comet Tempel 1.
