The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has declared a new Ebola outbreak in Kasai Province. It’s caused by the most severe strain: Zaire Ebola virus.
This outbreak began with a 34-year-old pregnant woman who was admitted to hospital on August 20 and died five days later. Two health workers who treated her also became infected and died.
By September 15, there were 81 confirmed cases and 28 deaths, including four health workers.

The study suggests that there’s liquid water deep, deep in the Martian crust—at least five miles down, and potentially as far as 15 miles.This means...
