...surprising. Though Io appears largely dehydrated, planetologists don't rule out the possibility of subsurface water, particularly since they think that ordinary steam might provide some of the propulsive muscle behind the moon's volcanoes. Triton presents a greater organic hurdle. At -391[degrees]F, the moon is the coldest known object in the solar system. Nevertheless, it appears heavy with subsurface ice, which seems to have got warm enough, in the past at least, to flow over the landscape in a lava-like slurry.

Larson, 35, had been found dead in his apartment--the victim, it was later determined...
