NASA Announces, "Mars Was Habitable"

by Active Astronomy astrobiology writer, Zantippy, Florida 15th March 2013

Curiosity's science team announced this week that Gale crater, on Mars, was habitable to potential life, billions of years ago.

Where I love to Read and Write

I love to read:
Next to picture books
On the front porch
With hot chocolate
Up a tree
Patting rabbits
In the closet
When I'm cold
While babies sleep
Taking a walk
On the top bunk
On a boat
In the garden
On the stairs
Eating popcorn
In our library
Wherever the moon is
In the water
In the loft
At the doctor's
In the attic
Hearing the rain
With an apple
On the floor
While the train chugs around
In bed

I love to write:
Under a blanket
Next to my duck
In the yellow room
At the picnic table
In the tub
Sitting next to the sofa
At the kitchen counter
On the bathroom floor
Under the table
In my big pink chair
With green tea
Pacing around
Near the sun
With a rabbit at my feet
In the woods
With John Williams music
On envelopes
During a hurricane
While everyone is asleep
