However, the major difference for Mars is its dust storms can blanket the entire planet at once, resulting in the surface becoming completely unobservable and blocking out sunlight, with the scientific community concerned this might hinder robotic, and even human, space exploration.

New Research Challenges a Long-Held Myth About Colorado Moose

VTBC ┋
Image
Evidence from archaeology, archives and Indigenous knowledge shows moose have a much longer history in Colorado than modern reintroductions suggest. Long before wildlife officials moved moose into Colorado in the late 1970s, the animals may already have been part of the state’s ecological and cultural landscape.
