Water anyone?

Well, 7 or 8 of us W.A.A.C.ers had our normal Fri. & Sat. nights Ob. sessions at our dark sky site & early tonight,(Sat), Garry,(a new member), turned up. We did the usual, ie; "Garry, have you seen Omega Cent., Jewel Box,?" etc etc..... A bit later we were having a coffee break & he came over with todays newspaper,(page 8, SMH). He showed us this article..... There's not a lot of info. there, but it's amazing what images they're getting from this Mars Express probe. Don't know if you've seen it yet, so have a look. L.

That's a great pic,about 2 km deep they say in this link
http://english.sina.com/p/1/2005/0729/40488.html

About 200m difference between the crater floor and the top of luquid stuff, http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Mars_Exp...KA808BE_0.html

I wonder what sort of fish could be swimming around up there ?
