Martian Snowflakes

A few months ago the Phoenix Lander on Mars confirmed the presence of water ice. Could the hard proof of the existence of extra-terrestrial life be at hand? Large methane deposits point to possibilty of organic materials on the surface of the red planet.

Sure, Mars is an alien world to us, but as we continue to unlock its secrets... we may discover that our neighbor has more in common with Earth than anyone ever imagined.


It's faint, it's eerie, but it's also familiar - snowfall on Mars!
