The University of Arizona’s Lunar and Planetary Laboratory just released high-resolution images of the surface of Mars taken from NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.
Tufts chemistry professor Sam Kounaves is in Tucson, at the University of Arizona, doing close-up research on the soil that makes up that surface from NASA’s Phoenix lander mission last year. Kounaves wet-chemical analysis found the soil on the Red Planet shared many characteristics with soil on earth.
