Here are some of the cool things from the news today.

Could Mars have had volcanic activity much more recently than previously believed? That's what a team

from the University of Arizona and the Smithsonian Institute propose in a new paper that's not yet

peer-reviewed but has been submitted to the journal Icarus. While previous research indicated that the

most recent volcanic eruption on Mars occurred two and a half

million years ago, this new paper indicates that there may have been one just 53,000 years ago,

Previously, the planet was thought to be more or less dead, with no activity happening

even beneath the surface. The deposit being studied comes from the region of Cerberus Faso,

and concerns the large volcano Elysium-Mons. Quoting the New York Times,
