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

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

A
team
of
scientists
from
the
Virginia
Institute
of
Marine
Science
(VIMS)
is
studying
the
presence
of
persistent
organic
pollutants
(POPs)
in
the
Antarctic.
During
January
and
February
2002
an
educator
travelled
there
to
participate
in
the
study,
and
posted
daily
reports.
In
addition,
this
site
contains
learning
activities
that
you
can
use
to
find
out
how
scientists
think
and
work.
These
