DUDE that is totally cool! Just thinking about the headlines brought my full attention to this. Snow actually falling on Mars is such a phenomenon, especially if you compare it to it snowing on the ground somewhere like where we live. Something you would probably get in a dozen blue moons or so. So this science probe sent to see if life was able to live on this planet happened to be strolling by the northern ice cap and decided to take a sky shot, shoot a light beam, and when the images were sent to NASA, they noticed that there were white flakes floating towards the ground.
So talk about how this further leads to what people think about life existing on other planets. Actually though, they were assessing whether the caps had acceptable living conditions. Another thing that was researched and proven to be noticed was the clay found. They say that where this is found that water ice was represented on Earth and hopefully that this also follows those rules. If so another fact can prove that life can inhabit this land. So water is definitely what scientists believe is the source of all life.
So Phoenix, the probe, when taking the pictures of this weather change calculated that this event was taking place over two miles above the surface of which the snow was actually falling. What was sad though, I thought, was that all of the snow had dissipated way before even getting close to the surface of the planet. From this though comes even sadder news for the science world and the probe that provided dire information for further studies. That is that the sun around that time sunk towards the horizon and that left our solar powered robot on not very much energy to perform any type of task. So scientists will probably hold on to this information for a decent amount of time before giving up on if life did exist or not, because the probe probably will not be able to collect any samples it can for scientists back home to analyze.
Even now, life existence is slowly mounting with how much evidence is being found for life on Mars. One of these would be that the cold, dry deserts were once water abundant and warm. Weeks before this article was released, scientists spoke out about how deformation bands found around the equatorial region, show that there was stress beneath the bed rock surface of the planet One of the scientists on this program, Chris Okubo, stated that: “water flows through these fractures and that they help us understand how the underground plumbing system of may have worked”. So to help prove his point he showed how these deposits layered in a forty three mile crater are similar to those found in the state of Utah.
So most of these evidential facts have been brought due to the fact that snow was found falling on a deserted planet that was hopefully once inhabited, as hypothesized, for a great period of time.
