Thick ice deposits have been exposed on eroding slopes in several places on Mars, researchers said in a recent study. Using data from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO), scientists found eight places where subsurface ice, likely deposited long ago in the form of snow, has been revealed on steep slopes. These deposits, made of relatively pure water ice, hold clues about Mars' climate history. They also may make frozen water more accessible than previously thought to future robotic or human exploration missions. They also reveal new information about the internal layered structure of previously detected underground ice sheets in Mars' middle latitudes. Mars is a dynamic world that additionally has seasons, polar ice caps, volcanoes, canyons and weather. Mars’ similarities to Earth—and stark differences—make it a prime target for exploration. An international science fleet keeps constant watch on this world and two robotic rovers are operating on the surface—sending back a steady stream of science data and images.
Cache is NOT at posted coordinates.
To get the coordinates for the cache you will have to answer questions about Mars below and solve the following
N 43 05.ABC W 076 07.XYZ
Mars has no moons.
- True (ABC=369)
- False (ABC=301)Mars has two moons named Phobos and Deimos.
A Martian year is 687 Earth days.
- True (XYZ=917)This means we are all younger on mars?!? Sorry - I don't think it works that way.
- False (XYZ=956)
Congratulations to LCSM on this FTF.
