NASA’s Phoenix arrived on Mars on May 25th in order to spend a 3 month journey searching for ice (water) and proof of primitive life forms. Well yesterday Phoenix dug up something strange, it found a layer of white substance a few inches underneath Mars’ red soil. Scientists believe its not ice but may be some sort of salt and hope that ice might be found beneath it.
Update: NASA now believes that the white material might have been ice as after four days is disappeared (evaporated). Read the report here.
