Let's wait for the mission scientists to declare the discovery of liquid water. 'Warm' ice could conceivably sublimate to form a mist of sorts, esp. if it's rapidly cooling again & recombining into ice crystals.
Bottom line: Interesting stuff, but not enough to draw conclusions. -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

You are correct...but for the record. Herschel detected liquid water erupting from somewhere. Im all sorta of excited for the LAMO orbit |

Water vapor was detected; that does not imply liquid water. -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
