The German Aerospace Center, TerraSAR-X radar satellite has seen them from space, providing a new view of this 2000-year-old World Heritage Site. The geoglyphs show up as dark grooves in the ground in the v ... more Russian Military Set To Continue Bulava Missile Tests

The presence of these oxygen atoms could potentially provide the basis for pre-biological chemistry. The interactions are captured in two papers, one led by John Cooper and another led by Edward Sittler, published in the journal Planetary and Space Science in late 2009.
