Today the #Moon goes into #Capricorn , where we...

get organized!

Think about the support you need to:

reach your goals
stay on purpose
build resilience

It's a good time to get strategic and

work on the foundations

that help you get results!

Plus: #Mars enters #Leo helping you

shine your light.

“ Officials have discovered a 300-foot-wide hole on the surface of Mars that the space agency says could be a "portal" to an underground world of alien life. NASA shared the photo of the massive hole on the Martian surface on Sunday for its Astronomy Picture of the Day. The agency speculated that the opening could lead to a mysterious lower level of the planet that could potentially support life. “

The time of travel to #Mars can be reduced from nine months to about four months. This would reduce #radiation doses by over 60% compared to the Hohmann transfer. This trajectory uses 4.62 km/s of deltaV. #SpaceX #Starship is designed for about 6 km/s of deltaV. The return velocity of #Apollo was about 11 km/s https://marspedia.org/Aerobraking

Carbonates identified by the Curiosity rover indicate a carbon cycle operated on ancient Mars: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.ado9966 -> " The presence of iron oxyhydroxides in these deposits indicates that a partially closed carbon cycle on ancient #Mars returned some previously sequestered CO2 to the atmosphere."

#Starship would take between a mere 80 and 150 days to reach #Mars , depending on the launch window.

A shorter transfer time comes at the cost of higher fuel requirements and less payload mass. Not only is it more difficult to reach the required delta-V, it’s also more difficult to stop. The spacecraft will need to brake harder to match velocities with Mars upon arrival https://www.marssociety.ca/2021/01/22/rocket-physics-how-to-go-to-mars

How Ancient Martian Rocks May Have Helped Water Flow on Its Surface https://www.seti.org/how-ancient-martian-rocks-may-have-helped-water-flow-its-surface

A new hypothesis from SETI Institute scientist Dr. Janice Bishop and Dr. Melissa Lane from Fibernetics in Pennsylvania suggests underground water on #Mars could have formed clays and carbonates billions of years ago, either through subsurface reactions with rocks or precipitation from saturated pore waters.

Mars may have had conditions that could have supported life, finds study led by Calgary scientist
A new study led by a University of Calgary scientist has found evidence that suggests Mars once had a carbon cycle, giving further support for the habitability of the red planet.

NASA’s Curiosity Rover May Have Solved Mars’ Missing Carbonate Mystery

New findings from NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover could provide an answer to the mystery of what happened to the planet’s ancient atmosphere and how Mars has evolved over time. Researchers have long believed that Mars once had a thick, carbon…
