On a cold, ancient Mars, thick ice layers protected vast lakes and river systems, providing clues to how water flowed across the Red Planet some 3.6 billion years ago. According to new findings by the Planetary Science Institute, carbon dioxide frozen out of Mars' atmosphere helped create conditions that allowed substantial water flow even without a warmer climate.

In the 1997 film "Contact," based on Carl Sagan's novel, the protagonist Ellie Arroway, played by Jodie Foster, takes a journey via a space-alien-constructed wormhole to the star Vega. What she finds is a scene of swirling debris, with no evident planets. Recent observations seem to affirm the filmmakers' depiction.

India is eying a return to the moon in 2028, aiming to collect 6.6 pounds of lunar samples from an area thought to be rich in water and ice near the lunar south pole, the Indian Space Research Organization has announced.
The mission is projected to cost about $253 billion in U.S. dollars, the agency said.
