EVSN - Mystery of Mars' Recurring Slope Lineae Possibly Solved

From February 8, 2021. A new theory has been proposed that could answer the question of what causes recurring landslides on Mars: small-scale ice melting just below the surface may leave the regolith vulnerable to wind. Plus, a look at some of Earth's ancient climate changes, a gamma-ray source, puffy galaxies, and this week's What's Up.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!
