What would happen if the polar ice caps of Mars melted? The above accepted answer is not correct as it is currently stated: If you want to say that it is ENOUGH to cover the planet in an ocean, then that's fine, but due to the dramatic topography (over 25 km of relief), the would-be oceans would pool in the northern hemisphere, Valles Marineris, and Argyre and Hellas basins. |

What are the facts that allow accepting the Oort cloud theory? Alright, looks like I was remembering wrong (universetoday.com/11283/…). It's Kuiper Belt disks we see around other stars. I've revised my answer. |

November 25th 2011 partial solar eclipse visibility from Christchurch, New Zealand Alright, answer is corrected. I also had your longitude as W instead of E. That's why Starry Night did +11 instead of +13. |
