The agency previously knew that water once filled the crater, but not for how long. <br><br>The salt deposits mean NASA can now rule out a sudden "flash in the pan" water event, the agency said in a news release. <br><br>"It looks like our first rocks reveal a potentially habitable sustained environment," said Ken Farley, project scientist for the mission, said in the release. "It's a big deal that the water was there a long time." <br><br>The rover sampled a rock NASA dubbed Rochette on a ridge named Artuby. The two samples are named Montdenier and Montagnac after a French mountain and region, respectively. <br><br>Scientists chose the Rochette drilling site after a previous attempt to drill a sample failed because the brittle rock target crumbled. <br><br>The samples now are stored and sealed inside the rover as part of a multinational effort to bring Mars rocks back to Earth by 2031, said Kate Stack Morgan, Perseverance deputy project scientist. <br><br>The samples may be dropped on the Martian surface for a future rover to retrieve and launch into space, where another spacecraft would catch them and return them to Earth. Ultimately, the goal is to use advanced equipment on Earth to analyze the rocks for signs of ancient life on Mars. <br><br>"We plan to continue exploring Jezero Crater ... for about two Earth years," Stack Morgan said in the news conference. "We will make decisions then on which samples we'd like to put down in that first cache." <br><br>The samples, about the thickness of a pencil, were 2.4 inches long and 2.6 inches long, which are nearly ideal, said Jessica Samuels, the Perseverance surface mission manager, at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. <br><br>"Reflecting on this moment, it has been the culmination of so many years of so many people's hard work and time and effort," Samuels said. <br><br>"While it definitely was a very long time waiting, I think all of us can say that it feels fantastic to ... be up here and share this with you." </span><o:p></o:p></p><h2 align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#333333'>*-- Researchers potty-train cows to reduce ammonia emissions --*</span><o:p></o:p></h2><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><a href="https://ptv.gophercentral.com/?a=474&oc=440&c=22742&p=r" target="_blank"></a><!--[if gte vml 1]><v:shape id="_x0000_s1027" type="#_x0000_t75" alt="Wow21" href="https://ptv.gophercentral.com/?a=474&oc=440&c=22742&p=r" target=""_blank"" style='position:absolute;margin-left:173.8pt;margin-top:0;width:225pt;height:187.5pt;z-index:251659264;mso-wrap-distance-left:0;mso-wrap-distance-top:0;mso-wrap-distance-right:0;mso-wrap-distance-bottom:0;mso-position-horizontal:right;mso-position-horizontal-relative:text;mso-position-vertical-relative:line' o:allowoverlap="f" o:button="t">

If confined to a barn, urine and feces can mix together and yield ammonia, an indirect greenhouse gas. <br><br>Both scenarios are problematic for human and environmental health. <br><br>To keep barns more sanitary, waterways clean and greenhouse gas emissions low, researchers have started training cow to urinate and defecate in designated areas. <br><br>Scientists described their efforts -- a system they named MooLoo training -- in a new paper, published Monday in the journal Current Biology. <br><br>"It's usually assumed that cattle are not capable of controlling defecation or urination," study co-author Jan Langbein said in a press release. <br><br>"Cattle, like many other animals or farm animals are quite clever and they can learn a lot. Why shouldn't they be able to learn how to use a toilet?" said Langbein, an animal psychologist at the Research Institute for Farm Animal Biology in Germany. <br><br>To potty-train the young cows participating in the study, researchers in Germany and New Zealand offered food rewards to calves that urinated in the latrine. Afterwards, researchers allowed the cows to enter the latrine from the fields when they needed to go. <br><br>To discourage urination outside the latrines, researchers tried fitting the calves with headphones and playing unpleasant sounds whenever they peed in the barn. It didn't take. <br><br>"We thought this would punish the animals -- not too aversively -- but they didn't care," Langbein said. "Ultimately, a splash of water worked well as a gentle deterrent." <br><br>In just a few weeks, researchers trained 11 of 16 cows to regularly use the latrine to relieve themselves. According to the study's authors, the cows' potty-training performance was comparable to children and superior to very young children. <br><br>The ammonia produced when feces and urine mix doesn't directly contribute to global warming, but when it is leached into the ground, it gets broken down by microbes that release nitrous oxide, the third-most significant greenhouse gas after methane and carbon dioxide. <br><br>Agriculture is the number one source of ammonia emissions, and livestock account for more than half of the industry's output. <br><br>Now that cows can be cooperative partners in the quest to reduce ammonia emissions, researchers hope to adapt their MooLoo training for outdoor farms. <br><br>"In a few years, all cows will go to a toilet," Langbein said. </span><o:p></o:p></p></td></tr><tr><td style='background:#21394C;padding:3.75pt 0in 3.75pt 0in'></td></tr><tr><td style='padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 style='border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:0px'><tr><td colspan=2 style='padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><a href="https://sli.gophercentral.com/click?s=758828&li=25&e=jjrudy1@comcast.net&p=7053244&stpe=default" target="_blank"><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;text-decoration:none'><img border=0 id="gmail-m_-5491835680583908954yiv9963759984m_6178213914035025486gmail-m_4856782960475329375_x005f_x0000_i1035" src="https://sli.gophercentral.com/imp?s=758828&li=25&e=jjrudy1@comcast.net&p=7053244&stpe=default"></span></a><o:p></o:p></p></td></tr><tr><td style='padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><a href="https://sli.gophercentral.com/click?s=758829&li=25&e=jjrudy1@comcast.net&p=7053244&stpe=static" target="_blank"><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;text-decoration:none'><img border=0 width=116 height=15 style='width:1.2083in;height:.1527in' id="gmail-m_-5491835680583908954yiv9963759984m_6178213914035025486gmail-m_4856782960475329375_x005f_x0000_i1034" src="https://sli.gophercentral.com/imp?s=758829&li=25&e=jjrudy1@comcast.net&p=7053244&stpe=static"></span></a><o:p></o:p></p></td><td style='padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal align=right style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;text-align:right'><a href="https://sli.gophercentral.com/click?s=758831&li=25&e=jjrudy1@comcast.net&p=7053244&stpe=static" target="_blank"><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;text-decoration:none'><img border=0 width=19 height=15 style='width:.2013in;height:.1527in' id="gmail-m_-5491835680583908954yiv9963759984m_6178213914035025486gmail-m_4856782960475329375_x005f_x0000_i1033" src="https://sli.gophercentral.com/imp?s=758831&li=25&e=jjrudy1@comcast.net&p=7053244&stpe=static"></span></a><o:p></o:p></p></td></tr></table></td></tr><tr><td style='padding:3.75pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;text-align:center'><span style='font-size:8.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333'>Your Email Address: <a href="mailto:jjrudy1@comcast.net" target="_blank">jjrudy1@comcast.net</a><br>Your Subscriber ID: 51534611<br><br></span><a href="https://s.pulsetv.com/u/?e=jjrudy1@comcast.net&l=l-gizmo" target="_blank"><span style='font-size:8.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;text-decoration:none'><img border=0 width=200 height=25 style='width:2.0833in;height:.2638in' id="gmail-m_-5491835680583908954yiv9963759984m_6178213914035025486gmail-m_4856782960475329375_x005f_x0000_i1032" src="https://www.pulsetv.com/images/deal-unsub.png" alt="Unsubscribe Button"></span></a><span style='font-size:8.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333'><br><a href="https://s.pulsetv.com/u/?e=jjrudy1@comcast.net&l=l-gizmo" target="_blank">Problems with the Button?
