Well, less than 32 degrees.

I don't know...what is the freezing point on Mars? *rimshot*

When I saw "Phoenix discovers water on Mars" I instantly pictured Jean Grey standing next to a pond in a red, rocky desert, gleeful over finding it.

Oh, if only I could draw that. ;)

Not only that, but scientists have discovered a liquid lake on Titan. (It's probably hydrocarbons, not water. But still.)

Its very cool. Will we see bottled martian water in our life time?

That's great. Now we can break out the plows & ... oh right, frozen.

This is really pretty cool, though not entirely unexpected. On another note, you have to wonder what NASA was thinking, naming a mars probe (and we all know how poor of luck they have had with those at times) after something that spontaneously self-immolates.

I suppose they had to confirm the polar caps that shrank and expanded from the orbital pictures was, in fact, water crystals.

I'm glad they got the loading arm and oven working, before all the ice sublimated away.

I have been humming New Frontier since I saw this news. I thought it should have made the front page!

Now, me, I'd be more surprised if the ice was found inside a styrefoam cooler, along with, perhaps, an unopened six pack of Martian beer.
