A lake is a body of water or other liquid of considerable size contained on a body of land. A vast majority of lakes on Earth are fresh water, and most lie in the Northern Hemisphere at higher latitudes.

The enigmatic Saturnian moon Titan is still yielding surprising new details years after scientists first pierced its thick haze veil. The vision now emerging of Saturn's largest moon, with its giant dunes and oceanless surface, is perhaps a glimpse of Earth's desert future.

Astrobiologists have a strong interest in understanding the conditions that prevailed on the early Earth, but the record for the first 650 million years of Earth history is gone. The earlier stages that made our planet fit for life are not recorded in the rocks we have today.

Google has announced that it is going to buy Panoramio for an undisclosed amount to add it to its Google Geo product mix (Google Earth and Google Maps). It is promised to be a win-win situation for both parties. Google makes its online presence more visible every day and this acquisition is another indication of this.

There have been claims that warming on Mars and Pluto are proof that the recent warming on Earth is caused by an increase in solar activity, and not by greenhouses gases. But we can say with certainty is that even if Mars, Pluto or any other planets have warmed in recent years, it is not due to changes in solar activity.

EUROPEAN planet hunters are stealing a march on their American rivals. After last week's discovery of a "habitable" extrasolar planet the size of five Earths - the smallest yet found - European astronomers have had more good news. Their new space telescope, called COROT, is proving 10 times as sensitive as expected.

Anyone observing Earth Day this Sunday, April 22, has to give one person credit: Rachel Carson. She was a writer and scientist who, in 1962, jolted the nation with her book "Silent Spring," which warned the public about the dangers of pesticides in general and DDT in particular.
