Data from Mars rover gives strong evidence that area was consistently wet in the past. http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=13758 (Remembering, as always, that "strong evidence" and fact are often correlated but not equal.) Note that the Moon's south polar ice, which at one stage was so evident that people would have bet their house on the evidence, is now more rationally discussed. Mars has also provided "strong evidence" for subterranean ice deposits, mainly in its south polar regions, but these have not as yet been proven. There are also many photos available which appear to show erosion channels from very large water flows in the immediate past down the sides of valleys where (apparently) sub-surface water has flown out of the water table when it reached a rift. Surface water on Mars would currently boil away almost instantly so such flows would be most spectacular to see. Assignment: Pore over countless available Mars photos for evidence of such a flow in progress. Report back when you find one. -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY! [EE]:,[OT]: ->Other [BUY]:,[AD]: ->Ads
