    Everyone is talking about Greenland. Here’s what it’s like to visit cow fi A few months ago Greenland was quietly getting on with winter as the territory slid deeper into the darkness that envelops the world’s northerly reaches at this time of year. But President Donald Trump’s musings about America taking over this island of 56000 largely Inuit people halfway between New York and Moscow has seen Greenland shaken from its frozen Arctic anonymity. Denmark for whom Greenland is an autonomous crown dependency has protested it’s not for sale. Officials in Greenland meanwhile have sought to assert the territory’s right to independence. The conversation continues to intensify. A contentious March 28 visit to a US military installation by Usha Vance the second lady accompanied by her husband Vice President JD Vance was the latest in a series of events to focus attention on Trump’s ambitions for Greenland. The visit was originally planned as a cultural exchange but was shortened following complaints from Greenland Prime Minister Mute B. Egede. Had the Vances prolonged their scheduled brief visit they would’ve discovered a ruggedly pristine wildernesses steeped in rich Indigenous culture. An inhospitable icecap several miles deep covers 80 of Greenland forcing the Inuit to dwell along the shorelines in brightly painted communities. Here they spend brutally cold winters hunting seals on ice under the northern lights in near perpetual darkness. Although these days they can also rely on community stores. The problem for travelers over the years has been getting to Greenland via time-consuming indirect flights. That’s changing. Late in 2024 the capital Nuuk opened a long-delayed international airport. From June 2025 United Airlines will be operating a twice-weekly direct service from Newark to Nuuk. Two further international airports are due to open by 2026 — Qaqortoq in South Greenland and more significantly in Ilulissat the island’s only real tourism hotspot.

    Curiosity has maintained pristine pieces of the Cumberland sample in a “doggy bag” so that the team could have the rover revisit it later even miles away from the site where it was collected. The team developed and tested innovative methods in its lab on Earth before sending messages to the rover to try experiments on the sample. changelly exchange In a quest to see whether amino acids the building blocks of proteins existed in the sample the team instructed the rover to heat up the sample twice within SAM’s oven. When it measured the mass of the molecules released during heating there weren’t any amino acids but they found something entirely unexpected. An intriguing detection The team was surprised to detect small amounts of decane undecane and dodecane so it had to conduct a reverse experiment on Earth to determine whether these organic compounds were the remnants of the fatty acids undecanoic acid dodecanoic acid and tridecanoic acid respectively. The scientists mixed undecanoic acid into a clay similar to what exists on Mars and heated it up in a way that mimicked conditions within SAM’s oven. The undecanoic acid released decane just like what Curiosity detected. Each fatty acid remnant detected by Curiosity was made with a long chain of 11 to 13 carbon atoms. Previous molecules detected on Mars were smaller meaning their atomic weight was less than the molecules found in the new study and simpler. “It’s notable that non-biological processes typically make shorter fatty acids with less than 12 carbons” said study coauthor Dr. Amy Williams associate professor of geology at the University of Florida and assistant director of the Astraeus Space Institute in an email. “Larger and more complex molecules are likely what are required for an origin of life if it ever occurred on Mars.”
