Big bang's afterglow may reveal birthplace of comets

A vast reservoir of comets that is too far away to see might be detectable in maps of radiation left over from the big bang, a new study suggests.

Hungry monkey terrorises hiker

Hong Kong - A 46-year-old hiker was recovering in hospital on Saturday after falling 20 metres into a Hong Kong reservoir while running away from a monkey trying to steal her food.

Buried Glaciers Found on Mars

Mars has vast glaciers hidden under aprons of rocky debris near mid-latitude mountains, a new study confirms, pointing to a new and large potential reservoir of life-supporting water on the planet.

Supersonic water jets shoot from Saturn moon

Supersonic jets of water vapour are blasting from Saturn's moon Enceladus, reveal observations from NASA's Cassini spacecraft. Some say the newly discovered features bolster the case for a reservoir of liquid water - which could potentially host life - just beneath the moon's surface.

Life Will be Hard for Colonists - Kaguya Can't Find Water on the Moon

It's been a long-held belief that the Moon is hiding significant quantities of water ice, safe from the Sun's ablative effects inside shady craters. One such crater is called Shackleton at the lunar South Pole and previous Moon missions have indicated it might hold a large reservoir of ice for all the water needs of future Moon colonists. Alas, the Japanese lunar mission Kaguya (or the Selenological and Engineering Explorer - "SELENE") has taken a peek into the crater to find… nothing. At least, it hasn't spotted any significant quantities of surface ice. So where does this leave future lunar colonies?
