In 2003, strange features on Mars’s surface got scientists’ “spidey senses” tingling when they saw them. That’s when unusual “anareiform terrain” landforms appeared in images from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. They’ve returned each year, spreading across the southern hemisphere surface. At first, nobody knew what caused these weird wrinkly spider-like formations. Now, NASA researchers have duplicated them in the lab to explain their existence. No doubt about it, though, these Mars spiders look weird. Some of them stretch across a kilometer and generally appear in clusters. Since discovering them in 2003 via images from orbiters, scientists have marveled at these Mars spiders sprawled across the southern hemisphere of Mars. No one is entirely sure how these geologic features are created but lab simulations may provide clues. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona Since carbon dioxide is common on Mars, scientists figured it had something to do with creating these weird formations. They used the “Kieffer model” to delve into the history of Mars spiders. That model explains how carbon dioxide ice slabs under the surface trap gas as it sublimates (turns to gas), usually during southern hemisphere spring. Sunlight heats the surface and shines through transparent slabs of carbon dioxide. Those ice layers build up each winter. The soil beneath the ice absorbs heat from the Sun and causes the ice closest to it to sublimate. Gas pressure builds up, which cracks the ice and allows gas to escape. As it seeps upward, the gas takes with it a stream of dark dust and sand from the soil that lands on the surface of the ice. Those deposits take the form of spidery landforms. Confirming Mars Spiders To see if that process is what’s creating Mars spiders, NASA JPL scientists, led by Lauren McKeown, decided to simulate Mars conditions in their lab. “The spiders are strange, beautiful geologic features in their own right,” said McKeown. “These experiments will help tune our models for how they form.” The DUSTIE chamber at JPL. This is where scientists simulated the surface conditions under which Mars spiders form. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech. Not that it’s easy to replicate Mars on Earth, even in strict laboratory conditions. For Mc Keown and her team, the hardest part was re-creating conditions found on the Martian polar surface. That region experiences extremely low air pressure. Seasonal changes bring the air and surface temperatures down to a chilly -301 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 185 degrees Celsius). To make it work, the team used a liquid-nitrogen-cooled test chamber at JPL—the Dirty Under-vacuum Simulation Testbed for Icy Environments, or DUSTIE. “I love DUSTIE. It’s historic,” Mc Keown said, noting that the wine barrel-size chamber was used to test a prototype of a rasping tool designed for NASA’s Mars Phoenix lander. For their experiment, the team chilled Martian soil simulant in a container dipped into a nitrogen bath. Then they put the whole thing into DUSTIE and replaced Earth-normal pressure with Mars air pressure. Carbon dioxide gas flowed in and condensed to ice. The next step was to put a heater inside to simulate Martian conditions in early spring. The team did this several times before the experiment created simulated “spiders” similar to those on Mars.

The Next Steps That simulation created plumes of carbon dioxide gas escaping from the soil simulant. It’s close to what happens on Mars, but not quite. So, the next step is to do the same experiment and use a simulated Sun to heat the surface materials. If that produces the same results, then the team has a good chance of proving this is what happens on Mars. However, Mars being what it is—there are still a lot of questions about why the spiders only form in the southern hemisphere at spring. Since subsurface carbon dioxide ice isn’t limited to that region of the planet, why don’t spiders form in other places? One possibility is that these aren’t recent features. They could be left over from a more active time in the planet’s past. Maybe the climate was very different when they formed. Or something catastrophic happened to enable the formation and growth of spiders in the southern hemisphere. The study at JPL is a good step forward in understanding the Martian terrain. It confirms several formation processes described by the Kieffer model. Of course, it would be really cool to visit those spiders someday. For now, however, lab work is as close as it gets to explaining them. Future rovers and landers could be used to study those landforms up close and personal. However, there aren’t any planned in the near future, and no other spacecraft has landed in the spider-rich southern hemisphere region. For now, scientists will continue testing the lab to understand the conditions that make these strange-looking features.

Of all the states (and people) in Europe who should be wary of taking a side within imperial factions and thus risking a massive retribution, Germany should have the muscle memory since the time of the Roman Empire. And yet, in the last month or so, they have made it clear who they prefer to win in what might be the pivotal contest of electoral history in living memory, one with the potential to shape our times permanently. Several times, and often as undiplomatically and explicitly as one can.  It makes sense in a myopic but urgent way. Of all the states whose relative standing in the world order is fated to change if there is an American retrenchment from Europe, Germany will be hit the hardest. It has been the primary beneficiary of the post-cold-war order… but unlike a previous era, it has not only been a free-rider on American-provided security and order, but also, as a protectorate, has sanctimoniously lectured the hegemon from a position of cultural and political superiority. That Germany was able to do so is only because there has thus far been bipartisan cooperation between the Atlanticists of the right and left.  But given the structural change of American politics, those days are likely over, and while Trump is but a man, Trumpism is in itself a structural reaction and will remain after. And as another Florentine turned Roman reminds us, there is an inherent risk in taking a side between imperial factions vying for power.  The post The Dilemma of German Statecraft appeared first on The American Conservative.

JD Vance has proposed a plan to end the war in Ukraine that has made the Washington Post and the combined cognoscenti livid.  The Post reports: “I think what this looks like is Trump sits down, he says to the Russians, the Ukrainians, the Europeans: You guys need to figure out — What does a peaceful settlement look like? And what it probably looks like is the current line of demarcation between Russia and Ukraine, that becomes like a demilitarized zone,” Vance said Wednesday on The Shawn Ryan Show. Vance continued, saying that the proposed DMZ would be heavily fortified, to deter further war and that the cost of an independent entity in Kiev would mean ensuring that Ukraine cannot ever join NATO or the EU.  So, overall, the idea is a frozen conflict, a demilitarized zone, and Ukrainian neutrality. Not dissimilar to countless such compromises throughout the Cold War, including the Korean peninsula, East Berlin, and most famously, the Austrian Neutralitätserklärung. Your prudent analyst also once dared to suggest a similar course of realist compromise in a paper, but that was a few years back, and the war might have been entirely avoided that way.  The Post lamented further, adding, “Although some Republican lawmakers are among the strongest supporters of Ukraine, others have been increasingly reluctant to continue providing federal funding toward the war, arguing that the money is better spent on domestic issues such as securing the southern U.S. border.” But the most egregious piece of falsehood was when the Post continued with a lie that Europe is continuing to overspend the United States in Ukraine.  Vance also said Europe has “underfunded this war while American taxpayers have been very generous,” a charge often made by Trump, who falsely said in Tuesday’s debate that the US had spent $250-$275 billion on Ukraine — more than twice as much as Europe. As of June 30, European nations with far smaller economies had collectively spent and allocated considerably more than the US, according to the Kiel Institute for the World Economy. As a percentage of its economy, the US ranks lower than 21 other countries, according to the institute. This, is, to put it mildly, not even a spin but a lie. The Kiel Institute stopped measuring actual given aid, due to this specific problem, as it showed that the US is dominating the aid to Ukraine. Instead, it started to measure “pledges” and “allocations” within delivered aid, to pump up European contribution numbers. And the argument that per percentage some European countries are giving more than the US makes no real sense, as one, they are close to Russia so they should pay a greater percentage of their GDP, and two, Estonia spending ten percent of their GDP for defense is nothing compared to an actual 1 percent of US GDP towards the same cause.  Either way, at least Vance has a theory of victory, and a plan to end the rush towards a peer nuclear war with another great power. The entire Cold War was about the same compromises. The other side has no plan. And that should ideally disqualify them from talking about the war.  The post At Least Vance Has A Plan appeared first on The American Conservative.
