New Caves Possibility for Life

Seven dark spots near Mar's equator have lead to a furry of excitement for astronomers. They believe that these dark spots could be possible caves on Mars, which of course could ultimately lead to life. The football sized holes were discovered by Mars Odyssey's Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS)."The potential caves were spotted near a massive Martian volcano, Arisa Mons. Their openings range from about 330 to 820 feet (100 to 250 meters) wide, and one of them, Dena, is thought to extend nearly 430 feet (130 meters) beneath the planet's surface. " This should lead to further exploration of Mars.
