Water on Mars
Summary
For the last ten years, NASA has been looking for evidence of water on Mars. Now, it has been confirmed that water, in the form of ice, does exist there.
The ice is underground, which is where NASA was expecting to find it. Phoenix is a lander, not a rover, and thus does not move. It has a long robot arm which can dig into the ground. This arm has dug deep down into the soil for a sample, which has then been put into a tiny laboratory inside the Phoenix, and after tests it has been confirmed to be water. Within this water is a chemical that could possibly support life.
