Does there exist a list of all the evidence of water on Mars, listed by spacecraft?
Ideally, it would be a list with a short description and a link to a story or news release. For example: Mars Global Surveyor: NASA Images Suggest Water Still Flows in Brief Spurts on Mars http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/mars/new...s-20061206.html Phoenix: NASA Spacecraft Confirms Martian Water, Mission Extended http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/phoenix/...x-20080731.html Opportunity: NASA Mars Rover Finds Mineral Vein Deposited by Water http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/mer/news/mer20111207.html I know I could spend some time and extend the list that I've started above, but if someone or some organization has already done it I'd hate to reinvent the wheel! Thank you. |

Just generally, from my physics background, layman's understanding of Martian weather and geology, and following forums and threads like this one, it has always seemed like there's no insurmountable barrier to small amount of transient liquid water forming on present day Mars, when the right conditions come together. But really solid evidence of it seems to be elusive, so perhaps, like me, people are waiting for something really direct and unarguable.
