ScienceDaily (Mar. 20, 2009) — Salty, liquid water has been detected on a leg of the Mars Phoenix Lander and therefore could be present at other locations on the planet, according to analysis by a group of mission scientists led by a University of Michigan professor. This is the first time liquid water has been detected and photographed outside the

"A large number of independent physical and thermodynamical evidence shows that saline water may actually be common on Mars," said Nilton Renno, a professor in the U-M Department of Atmospheric, Oceanic and Space Sciences and a co-investigator on the Phoenix mission.

So it seems the day we get our confirmation, of at least salty, water is at hand! My my, alot of things seem to be coming out in the open lately. These sure are interesting times, a good break from terrifying times haha.

So now that we have proof of water on mars, do you think that we will start "Discovering" more and more things up in the sky?

This is an important announcement, star and flag!
