New study suggests Enceladus' oceans more habitable than previously thought
.... Now a team at the Southwest Research Institute, Texas has developed a new geochemical model that reveals that carbon dioxide (CO2) from within Enceladus may be controlled by chemical reactions at its seafloor; results that build on previous studies...

Terraforming Mars: from CFCs to Total Recall
...a challenging task. The greenhouse effect involves absorption and re-emission of outgoing infrared radiation by a planet’s atmosphere. On Earth, carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapour (H2O) are the two main greenhouse gases. Together, they raise Earth...
