Ngenkathi i- icendice UV ka-8 imele ubungozi obukhulu empilweni, iqembu labaphenyi elihlola amamodeli ezemvelo aseMartian eplanethi yethu lilinganise izinga lokurekhoda ku I-Andes. NgoDisemba 2003, inkomba yeqa ama-43.
Isimo se Mars i-tenuous futhi ayinayo ungqimba lwe-ozone evikela noma yiluphi uhlobo lokuphila emisebeni ye-ultraviolet ekhishwa yilanga. Kodwa-ke, kunezindawo ze- Umhlaba efana nombuso wentaba-mlilo weRed Planet. Njengobufakazi kwanele ukuqhathanisa izithombe ezithathwe yi- Ilukuluku nalezo zasemaphandleni ogwadule lwase-Atacama.
Izigidigidi zeminyaka edlule lapho Mars Kwakufudumele kancane futhi kungomile kakhulu kunanamuhla, kunomoya ohambelana ngokwengeziwe, izimo ebusweni bekufanele zisondele nakakhulu kulezo ezitholakala namuhla esifundeni saseLos Angeles. izintaba-mlilo I-Andean namachibi anosawoti angawona.
Unalokhu engqondweni, iqembu le- Abaphenyi beNASA yathutha ngo-2003 yaya entabeni yaseLicancabur eyayiseduze nenkabazwe nomngcele ophakathi kweBolivia neChile. Ngokuphakama okucishe kube ngu-6000 m, le volcano inechibi le-crater lapho kukhona khona izinto eziphilayo Ama-Extremophiles.
Ezikhungweni zayo, ungathokozela nokunwetshwa okubili okunosawoti, iLaguna Blanca neLaguna Verde. I- izazi ze-exobiologists bavele bashicilela udaba kumagazini iFrontiers in Environmental Science bebika ukutholwa okumangazayo okwenziwe ngaleso sikhathi.
Ngenxa yokuphakama okuphezulu kanye ne- ungqimba lwe-ozone ngokwemvelo ezacile kule ndawo, abacwaningi banethemba lokulinganisa ubukhulu obukhulu bemisebe ye-UV. Kepha hhayi kulelo phuzu ... NgoDisemba 29, 2003, i- Inkomba ye-UV lifinyelele kunani lika-43,3, okungukuthi, inkomba ephakeme kunazo zonke ezake zalinganiswa ebusweni bomhlaba.
Ukuchaza leli rekhodi, abacwaningi baphakamise ukuhlanganiswa kwezinto eziningana. Awukho umgodi we-ozone ngaphezu kwe-Andes, njengase-Antarctic, kodwa ama-aerosols nemililo esifundeni I-Licancabur kungenzeka banikele ekwenzeni buthakathaka ungqimba lwe-ozone ngaleso sikhathi. Ekugcineni, strong ukuhlushwa i-solar kwenzeke emasontweni amabili ngaphambi kwesilinganiso. Lokhu kungenzeka kube nomthelela ekwehliseni amazinga e-ozone futhi, ngaphezu kwalokho, ezinye iziqongo ze- ukungcola UV zingenzeka futhi ngemuva komcimbi onjalo.
