This
article
from
Astrobiology
Magazine
reports
on
the
discovery
of
water
in
"cold"
regions
of
space.
Using
data
from
the
European
Space
Agency's
Infrared
Space
Observatory,
astronomers
have
determined
that
water
is
abundant
in
these
cold,
or
quiescent
regions
of
space
where
there
are
no
stars,
and
that
the
majority
of
it
occurs
as
ice
with
a
small
amount
of
water
vapor.
It
is
thought
that
these
cold

NASA
Investigators
working
with
Mars
Odyssey
data
may
have
discovered
remnants
of
snow
packs
that
have
created
a
system
of
gullies
in
crater
walls
and
other,
more
unusual
places
such
as
ridge
crests,
sand
dunes,
and
hilltops.
Readers
of
this
journal
article
can
learn
about
the
snow
packs
and
their
potential
to
collect
and
shelter
water
beneath
themselves,
possibly
providing
a
favorable
environment

This
resource
gives
an
impression
of
how
immense
our
Universe
is
by
starting
with
an
image
of
the
Earth
and
then
zooming
out
to
the
furthest
visible
reaches
of
the
Universe.
Its
goal
is
to
show
astronomical
distances
without
scientific
notation.
Instead,
it
focuses
on
the
large
number
of
zeros
that
are
in
astronomical
distances
when
we
measure
them
with
a
familiar
unit
like
the
kilometer.
The
number
