Once upon a time, Mars had lakes, or at least wetter conditions than it does today. The latest from NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover shows slabs of rock cross-hatched with shallow ridges that likely originated as cracks in drying mud, evidence of an ancient era when these sediments were deposited were.

Barnard 150 (B150) dark nebula, also known as the Sea Horse Nebula, is a type of interstellar cloud that is extremely dense that it blocks the light from the background emission or reflection nebula making it block out background stars. The absence of the light is caused by interstellar dust grains located in the coldest, densest parts of larger molecular clouds.
