WEATHERMAN SAYS MARTIAN DAYS PLEASANT THIS SUMMER

The weatherman onboard Curiosity rover is not sweating. The reason behind this fact is what the equipment called Remote Environment Monitoring Station, or REMS in short, has to say. Curiosity's mission is to find out whether humans and other microbiological organisms can survive on the Red Planet.

 

And the experts are optimistic, with some reservations of course. They claim that it's too early to call the shots. The Martian days are apparently nice and warm. But, just before daybreak, temperatures may plummet to as low as -70 Celsius.

 

Felipe Gomez, a Spanish astrobiologist, was quoted as saying that

"If this trend carries on into summer, we might even be able to forsee temperatures in the 20s [Degrees Celsius], and that would be really exciting from a habitability point of view. In the daytimes, we could see temperatures high enough for liquid water on a regular basis. But it's too soon to tell whether that will happen or whether these warm temperatures are just a blip".
 

It will be fascinating to witness these developments, with the nascient account of Global Warming as the gigantic backdrop.
