The supernova was named G 1.9 + 0.3 and is estimated to be 140 years old, meaning that it is 200 years younger than the last [...]

Even though astronomers can now map the surface of Mars, getting information about the underground has proved to be quite difficult. To this end, a new technology that can achieve this has been created - MARSIS, EPA’s Mars Express radar sounder.
MARSIS stands for Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionosphere Sounding, and it managed to [...]
