On July 7, 2024, NOAA's GOES-U completed its final engine burn, successfully entering geostationary orbit 22,236 miles above the Earth's equator. Following this achievement, the satellite has been renamed GOES-19. GOES satellites are initially designated with a letter before launch, which is then changed to a number once they reach geostationary orbit. GOES-U was launched on June 25, 2024,

The question of whether Mars ever supported life has fascinated scientists and the public for decades. Central to this inquiry is understanding the planet's past climate: was it warm and wet, akin to Earth's climate, or was it cold and icy, making it less likely to support life as we know it? A recent study points to the latter, drawing parallels between Martian soils and those found in the suba
