Mars Was Warm, Wet: New Evidence Emerges

Former President Barack Obama confirmed the existence of extraterrestrial life in a recent interview, though he clarified that he has not personally encountered any aliens and they are not being held at Area 51. The statement, made during a discussion with progressive podcaster Brian Tyler Cohen, quickly generated online buzz and prompted a follow-up clarification from Obama on Instagram.

Obama's initial comment, "They're real. But I haven't seen them. They're not being kept at Area 51," was made in response to a question about the existence of extraterrestrial life. The brevity of the statement, published Saturday, sparked immediate speculation. Obama later added, "I was trying to stick with the spirit of the speed round, but since its gotten attention let me clarify."

In other news, a recent study indicated that Mars was warm and wet billions of years ago, challenging previous theories. This finding, which focuses on the Noachian epoch (4.1 to 3.7 billion years ago), has implications for the potential development of life on the planet, according to Ars Technica. The study contrasts with the idea that this era was primarily cold and icy.

Meanwhile, a study published in Nature suggests that moderate caffeine intake might reduce dementia risk. The research, based on decades of data, found a link between coffee consumption and slower brain aging in a study of 130,000 people.

Elsewhere, the Lesotho Flying Doctor Service continues to provide essential medical care to remote villages. As reported by NPR, the service utilizes aircraft to reach isolated communities like Mphooko, which is inaccessible by road. Dental therapist Senate Makhoali, for example, endures challenging flights to treat patients.
