The discovery was made using the MRO’s imaging spectrometer- a device allowing for the detection of hydrated mineral signatures on the slopes upon which the “mysterious streaks” have been observed on the planet’s surface.

While he and Damon are both in fine form here, it’s ultimately Weir’s genius that their work preserves. I prefer aliens with my sci-fi thank you, and although The Martian obviously fits in the genre, it takes its cues mostly from the school of drama (and sometimes,...

Matt Damon’s action-packed film career is highlighted by clashes with various opponents-trained assassins, Nazis, Boston cops, witches, the All Blacks, deadly viruses-but he has never gone up against an entire planet.

From the chamber piece of the first half, The Martian becomes a more traditional bring-our-heroes-home kind of film. Politics and public relations also intrude, as hard-nosed NASA chief Teddy Sanders (Jeff Daniels) considers the very real possibility that a failed rescue bid...

I was so happy to leave Mars. There’s technology, as he eventually begins to communicate with Earth. Watch his full review in the video above.

Thanks to a great cast, especially a likeable Matt Damon, it manages to inspire hope in our space program, which may not even be close to sending folks that deep into space, but maybe this is a preview of what we can expect to see – minus the accidentally stranding one of...

Damon is perfectly cast to play a smart-alecky Everyman, which is how he’s presented in the Andy Weir best-seller upon which the movie is based.

Matt Damon gives a remarkable performance, the story is excellent, the comedy is effective, and the movie is a solid adaptation from the best-selling novel. And even though films like Primer are so attractive to me due to their unwillingness to dumb down the science behind their...

During a news conference this week, NASA announced that, using spectral analysis, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter detected what scientists believe to be definitive signs of liquid water on Mars.

Stargazers in the state tonight were treated to a rare celestial event: a full so-called supermoon combined with a lunar eclipse, which left the moon shrouded in an eerie red glow. A total lunar eclipse coinciding with a “supermoon” hasn’t happened for 33 years,...

“Scientists announced with a high degree of certainty that we’re now sure there is water on mars, and if you look at where humans have gone before on this planet, we’ve always followed the water“.

“Together have seen solar eclipse, two planets, now lunar”.

Astronomers claim that M-class performers, or smaller sized low-mass artists would be the most commonly encountered variety gamers throughout the entire whole wide world, and moon around these items are more easily to find and read. But computer models showed that those planets...

Many earthlings were treated to a rare sight last night, as a “supermoon” coincided with a lunar eclipse.

No, the orbiter didn’t detect water flowing through mythical “canals” once thought to be crisscrossing the red planet’s surface.
