Nasa's lander samples Mars water
Nasa has completed a full panorama of the landing site
Nasa's Phoenix lander spacecraft has for the first time identified water in a sample of soil collected from the planet's surface.
Scientists will now be able to begin studying the sample to see whether the planet was ever, or is, habitable.
The craft previously had problems transferring samples from its robotic arm to the onboard lab for analysis.
The success and the good condition of the craft mean the mission will be extended until the end of September....
Think about that.. I find that incredible. Read the rest here.
Back to regularly scheduled programming ;)
