Those Mars Express links were not working for some reason; the bbs puts arbitrary hyphens in the links. <br /> You can get the links here:<br /><br />Newsgroups: sci.astro, alt.sci.planetary, sci.geo.meteorology, sci.physics <br />From: "Robert Clark" <rgregorycl...@yahoo.com /> <br />Date: 13 Mar 2005 06:56:28 -0800 <br />Local: Sun, Mar 13 2005 6:56 am <br />Subject: Dense fogs in Valles Marineris Mars.<br />http://groups-beta.google.com/group/sci.astro/msg/3a966b5417710f1d<br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
