		<description><![CDATA[One planet called Kepler 16 was discovered some time ago but two new planets called Kepler 34 and Kepler 35 have just been found. Each of these planets revolve around their own double Suns. These discoveries imply that planets revolving around binary stars (Suns that exist as a pair) are common throughout the galaxy. This [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t know how it does it but the Mars rover opportunity continues to send back results from Mars. This one could be very significant as opportunity has found slivers of a bright material that could be gypsum (calcium sulphate). If this is confirmed it will be the most unambiguous sign of water yet found [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Look out for the Mars science laboratory launch on November 26, 2011. Curiosity, which is a Rover , will search for elements that are needed to support life which are mainly water and any carbon-based materials. This will give us a good indication of whether Mars was habitable or will be habitable in the future. [...]]]></description>

Astronomers have observed extreme changes in brightness on a brown dwarf not that far away. These changes may indicate a storm that is bigger than seen on any planet so far. Brown dwarfs and giant planets have similar atmospheres and therefore [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Scientists have been meeting to talk about the prospects of finding life on Mars. Questions still linger positively or negatively about whether life exists on Mars because the right instruments haven&#8217;t been available. The instruments needed are being developed now and  are being refined for future missions. The main challenge is to get them on [...]]]></description>

Recently flowing water has been seen on Mars as reported in this weirdwarp post. Beads of water were first photographed on the Mars Phoenix lander&#8217;s legs about three years ago. Water could mean life, not little [...]]]></description>

It looks as though now the Mars reconnaissance orbiter has found flowing water during the warmest months on Mars. Dark, finger-like features appear and extend down [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For the first time it has been shown that the Cassini-Huygens probe’s sampling of icy spray shooting from Saturn&#8217;s moon Enceladus contains large salt rich grains. The spray was sampled by Cassini in 2005. The plumes were coming from the so-called &#8220;tiger stripe&#8221; surface fractures at the moon&#8217;s south pole. These tiger stripes are thought [...]]]></description>

ASTEP promotes the search for life on other planets and supports research and exploration of the Earth&#8217;s most remote places. New technology is used by ASTEP to seek, identify and characterise life that exists or did exist [...]]]></description>
