Strong Evidence Proof of Mars Water

An article from The Globe and Mail discussed strong proof of water found on Mars by Canadian researchers. There is a white, salty substance that was churned up by the Mars Spirit rover that physicists at the University of Guelph say reinforces earlier evidence that there may be water trapped under the surface of Mars. The remnants represent oceans or pools that have since largely evaporated. The white substance was caught in Spirit's wheels as it moved across the soft red surface in the Columbia Hills region. An X-ray spectrometer on the arm of Spirit captured the data and transmitted it back to Earth. Professor Iain Campbell said, "I think it's a very important piece of the jigsaw that we've been able to supply. there were indicators for water. We've come along and said there's a new approach, a way to process the data you may have never thought were useful. They're telling you there's water."
