Scientists studying Mars images released at the American Geophysical Union meeting in Boston describe a 30 mile wide crater with a dark wide bottom that may indicate frozen mud or sand. They note water or ice could exist there, though other explanations like volcanic activity are possible.

Solar flares trigger sunquakes far stronger than Earth's quakes
A July 9 1996 solar flare produced a sunquake equaled to a magnitude 11.3 tremor on Earth, releasing energy 40 000 times that of the 1906 San Francisco quake and enough to power the United States for two decades, NASA and university teams report. The findings appear in Nature and aim to aid flare prediction and space weather forecasting. In a separate signal the Hubble telescope team reports possible exoplanet detection in a Taurus binary system about 450 light‑years away, twice Jupiter’s size, to be announced at NASA HQ.

Census shows slowing decline in married couple families
Census Bureau data indicate the drop in married couples with children is decelerating from 1990 to 1997. The share of such families was 37 percent in 1997, down from 50 percent in 1970, with single parent family growth also stabilizing. Births to single mothers continued rising, while overall divorce rates eased since the late 1980s.

Staff coordination gaps and late additions by senators inflated total Georgia road funding to about 284 million, with officials stating final decisions await member consultation.
