0:00.0 | Understanding the human body is a team effort. That's where the Yachtel group comes in. |
0:05.8 | Researchers at Yachtolt have been delving into the secrets of probiotics for 90 years. |
0:11.0 | Yacold also partners with nature portfolio to advance gut microbiome science through the global grants for gut health, an investigator-led research program. |
0:19.6 | To learn more about Yachtolt, visit yawcult.co.com.j. |
0:23.9 | That's y-A-K-U-L-T dot-C-O-J-P. |
0:28.4 | When it comes to a guide for your gut, count on Yacolt. |
0:33.5 | This is Scientific Americans' 60-second science. |
0:36.6 | I'm Lee Billings. |
0:38.0 | Got a minute? |
0:43.2 | For as long as we've been sending spacecraft to Mars, we've been finding signs of water. |
0:50.7 | The red planet's sinuous river valleys, flood-carved canyons, and buried glaciers all hint that it was wet billions of years ago. |
0:56.0 | Some researchers think that the curiously-flat and sparsely cratered northern lowlands are the remnants of a once-grade ocean. But that ocean's proposed coast varies in height by |
1:01.3 | thousands of meters, which has made the idea controversial. Now, a team of researchers has found |
1:06.8 | evidence for ancient tsunamis on Mars, evidence that supports the idea of a vanished |
1:11.6 | Martian ocean and explains its vertically variable shoreline. |
1:15.2 | We were trying to find shorelines on Mars, like those we typically see on Earth, which |
1:20.0 | is consistently distributed along a constant elevation, and that is not what we have found |
1:25.1 | on Mars, because in the case of Mars, the shorelines were |
1:28.4 | buried beneath tsunami deposits. |
1:30.4 | Alexis Rodriguez of the Planetary Science Institute in Tucson. |
1:34.5 | He led a team that used satellite images to identify thick deposits of boulders and silt, |
1:39.0 | apparently left by two separate tsunamis, a few million years apart, almost three and a half |
