"Precise measurements of atmospheric pressure back to 1644, when the Evangelist Torricelli invented the first barometer", tells SINC the researcher Sanjoy M. Som, University of Washington (USA).

Several flights near the surface of Saturn's moon


The Cassini spacecraft has recorded jets of water ice on several flights near the surface of Saturn's moon, Enceladus, which may indicate a favorable habitat for the existence of life. 
These geysers, which arise through cracks in the icy surface of Saturn's sixth moon, could reveal the existence of a vast underground sea. 
 "Cassini has flown several times through these particles and analyzed. We found that apart from water and organic material, there is salt in the particles of ice. Salinity is the same as that existing in the oceans of the Earth" Porco said.
