ANCHOR: A new discovery by NASA scientists shows that snow was vaporizing before reaching the Mars surface. The Mars Lander Phoenix helped the scientists discover water on this rocky planet. Lets take a look. STORY: Since touching down on Mars in late May the Phoenix lander has established that liquid water once flowed on the surface of the Red Planet. It now appears that snow falls there too. This image, recorded by the NASA explorer, detected snow, frost and cloud forming in the Martian atmosphere above the north pole. But the snow is vaporizing before it reaches the ground. NASA scientist Jim Whiteway said the mission was trying to find evidence that snow is actually landing on the surface – providing a tantalising clue that life may once have existed on Mars. [Jim Whiteway, NASA Lead Scientist]: “And we’re going to be watching very closely over the next month for evidence that the snow is actually landing on the surface. And this is a very important factor in the hydrological cycle on Mars, with the exchange of water between the surface and the atmosphere.” Time is short – the onset of the Martian winter will soon ‘kill-off’ the solar-powered lander. It’s already survived far longer than expected – but soon the sun will dip below the horizon until next April, consigning the craft to a dusty Martian grave.
