Nasa Finds Strange Grooves On An Asteroid Water In Sight
The Dawn's spacecraft has found the asteroid Vesta slopes very similar to those left on the Earth's surface water streams.In the photos of the probe 'Dawn' (Alba), presented at the congress of the U.S. Geographical Union in San Francisco, scientists captured two types of roads. Some are short and straight, which could have appeared by falling rocks and sorpendieron not astronomers.However, the second type are long and narrow, and resemble those leaving the water on our planet. Similar channels exist on Mars, but astronomers are still studying what I could have originated.In Vesta by its irregular shape, lack of gravity and high insolation, water can not remain on the surface. Moreover, the temperature at the poles is about 129 degrees below zero, enough for the water, a prerequisite for the emergence of life is preserved.Vesta is the second most massive celestial body and the third by the size of the asteroid belt of Mars and Jupiter. The Dawn spacecraft reached him in 2011 after a voyage of four years and after studying it, proceed will head dwarf planet Ceres.
