Andes, Chile - Bolivia - Volcano Licancabur/ASTER - The high - altitude, volcanic, arid terrain at the border of Bolivia and Chile has been described as the best Earth - based analog for conditions on Mars billions of years ago - - a time when scientists think it's possible that the surface of Mars harbored icy lakes and rivers. A team of scientists led by Nathalie Cabrol of NASA Ames Research Center believes the similarities are so compelling that in late October 2003, they arrived at the Licancabur Volcano to explore what life is able to exist in such an extreme environment - - as well as to test diving and other high - tech equipment like bodysuits that one day might be used to monitor the physiology (breathing rates, heartbeat, etc) of Mars explorers. Among the most interesting sites are the lakes - - the one in the caldera of the volcano itself and the one at the base of the volcano. Pictured here in this false - color image from the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) on the Terra satellite, the latter lake stands out in sapphire blue to the northeast of Licancabur (the solid charcoal peak). The microscopic plant life that survives in this lake is under increasing pressure as the lake, adjacent to the Atacama Desert (to the west), slowly dries up. The former extent of the lake bed now appears in a white ring around the lake. Former river courses, long since dried up, trace pale furrows across the rocky terrain. Preliminary field work conducted in 2002 suggests the microscopic plants are becoming increasingly deformed as a result of increasing exposure to ultraviolet radiation as the lake levels drop. Whether these changes signal the beginning of these organisms' extinction or whether the organisms are evolving adaptive responses to the extreme environment is not yet clear. The organisms found here might help scientists determine the point at which extreme becomes too extreme for life; their fate may reveal clues about what co
Saturn seen in infrared by Cassini spacecraft - Saturn seen in infrared by Cassini spacecraft - Composite image of Saturn in false colours obtained from infrared observations collected by the Cassini probe on 24 February 2007 at a distance of 1.58 million km from the planet. Flying over the unlit side of Saturn's rings, the Cassini spacecraft captures Saturn's glow, represented in brilliant shades of electric blue, sapphire and mint green, while the planet's shadow casts a wide net on the rings. This striking false - color mosaic was created from 25 images taken by Cassini's visual and infrared mapping spectrometer over a period of 13 hours, and captures Saturn in nighttime and daytime conditions. The visual and infrared mapping spectrometer acquires data simultaneously at 352 different wavelengths, or spectral channels. Data at wavelengths of 2.3, 3.0 and 5.1 microns were combined in the blue, green and red channels of a standard color image, respectively, to make this false - color mosaic. This image was acquired on Feb. 24, 2007, while the spacecraft was 1.58 million kilometers (1 million miles) from the planet and 34.6 degrees above the ring plane. The solar phase angle was 69.5 degrees. In this view, Cassini was looking down on the northern, unlit side of the rings, which are rendered visible by sunlight filtering through from the sunlit, southern face. On the night side (right side of image), with no sunlight, Saturn's own thermal radiation lights things up. This light at 5.1 microns wavelength (some seven times the longest wavelength visible to the human eye) is generated deep within Saturn, and works its way upward, eventually escaping into space. Thick clouds deep in the atmosphere block that light. An amazing array of dark streaks, spots, and globe - encircling bands is visible instead. Saturn's strong thermal glow at 5.1 microns even allows these deep clouds to be seen on portions of the dayside (left side), especially where overlying h
