New pictures from Mars
[edit]The space probe Mars Express has provided new pictures - with ground resolution of approximately 13 metres per pixel - of the Aeolis Mensae region.
This Martian area is currently subject of discussion for unexplained features. According some theories, the shaping of the surface could be result also of aeolian, wind-erosion, glacial or other activities.

[edit]
CNN has shut down its CNN Pipeline service, just as it said it would in a May 25, 2007 announcement. The pay-service, which allowed news from the channel to be viewed online, will be offered at no charge to online viewers beginning July 2, 2007.
The service is currently closed, and is under construction so that the free service can be completed. Archive news videos are still available.
