Evidence of Hot Water on Mars Found in Ancient Meteorite From Early Days of Solar System
Evidence of ancient hot water activity on Mars has been found in a 4.45-billion-year-old zircon grain from the NWA7034 meteorite. The findings, detailed in Science Advances, reveal that hydrothermal systems were active on Mars during the Pre-Noachian period. Researchers suggest these systems, essential for life on Earth, could have made Mars habita...

Massive Deep-Sea Hydrothermal Vent Field Discovered in the Depths of the Pacific Ocean: Details
Deep beneath the surface of the Pacific Ocean, researchers, from Lehigh University, have discovered a high-temperature off-axis hydrothermal vent field on the floor of ocean. It has been found at the depth of 2,550 metres and is likely to help scientists understand the impact of such vents on the life and chemistry of the oceans of the Earth.
