This probably deserves it's own thread. Seems the evidence is not specific to only one mission...

The solar wind idea is an interesting one. It might play a role of some kind. I can't help but think the processes involved are probably far more complicated than that. Here is a report from 2008 that suggests evidence for a water source beneath the surface.
