Revealed! Turn out Mars has abundant reserves of water ice

The potential for life on Mars is getting revealed. More recently, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has found reserves of water ice in large quantities on the Red Planet. These findings are expected to be an oasis if there's the human exploration missions to Mars in the future.

Water is the key to realize of the humans dream for live on Mars in the future. Water is not only necessary to safeguard the lives of the astronauts, but also to produce the fuel as well as agriculture.

Mars presents arguably the best location to for humans to make the first steps in colonizing space, not least of all for its abundant reserves of water. (Picture from: http://adf.ly/1gQ0RE)

"These reserves may be more accessible than most water ice on Mars, due to it's located in a lower position and form of the plain, smooth area in which the spacecraft will be much easier landed than other areas with reserves of ice water buried," said Jack Holt, a researcher from the University of Texas. 

The water supply was found under the location of which is known as Utopia Planitia, a plain on Mars where NASA's Viking 2 landing for the first time in 1976.

By using data from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's ground-penetrating Shallow Radar (SHARAD), the researchers found a lump of ice with a thickness of 250 feet (80 meters) to 560 feet (170 meters).

These blob able to cover the area of ​​the State of New Mexico. The reserve consists of 50 to 85 percent water ice mixed with dust and rock.

Utopia Planitia located between the Martian north pole and the equator. Estimated reserves of ice water buried because can not survive if it is located on the surface. 

"These reserves may be formed by snowfall that occurred throughout the history of Mars, and then collected into a layer of ice mixed with dust," said Holt.

Of course, the presence of water ice will be led to speculation about life on Mars. Could it be the underground water pockets formed which then able to lead to emerge the microbes? 

"When the water ice is already there in a long time in one place, we do not know whether there is the same backup elsewhere sufficient to support the emergence of microbial life," said Holt.. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | SEEKER]

Watch out, these ant species can rule the world

Do not underestimate its size. Who would have thought if the ant species that live in the forests of Ethiopia is capable of being a threat to humans. Lepisiota Canescens ant species can be buit super colonies that will spread rapidly in many regions, disrupting the ecosystem and even become a threat to humans.

This finding was revealed from a study by a group of American and Ethiopian researchers which have been published in the journal Insectes sociaux. The team included scientists from several institutions in Ethiopia and the United States, including North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, University of Tulsa, Bahir Dar University, California Academy of Sciences, and the Smithsonian Institution.

Researchers observed that the ant genus Lepisiota has mastered the Kruger National Park in South Africa. These ant species colonies were spread in a large area. It is a sign that these species become invasive. They also say that the ant species is the largest super colony ever observed in their natural habitat. They noted this super colony stretching up to 38 km.

"The species that we found in Ethiopia has the potential to become an invasive species," said D. Magdalena Sorger, a researcher from the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences was quoted as saying on CNBC on Friday, November 25, 2016.

"Invasive species spread by humans, along with tourism, and trade in Ethiopia are increasing. And only with one queen, the colonies can be formed," he added.

Typically, the ants form the colonies consisting of one nest and ruled by a queen. But there are 20 different species of ants. They form what is called super colonies consisting of many hives and queens. Super colonies can contain billions of ants who had gathered and were able to remove other ant colonies.

For example, the Argentine ants, these ants have a super colony that covers a large part of California and is now expanding to Mexico. Even, the Argentine ants drive out the native ant populations.

These ants attack also cause declines in predators that prey on native ants. And the Argentine ants have also become a 'part' of the Californian society. People reported if they are rampant in the house, out of the pipe, and even in the bags.

Another case that occurred was in Australia, where a port was forced to close when the super ant colonies are found in the cargo hold. Researchers hope that this research will be to understand how the life of ants whose living in their natural habitat. Including preventing before species become invasive. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | SCIENCE DAILY | CNBC]
