Mars Lander Finds Evidence of Past Water, Spots Snow

LOS ANGELES —  NASA's Phoenix spacecraft has discovered more evidence of past water at its Martian landing site and spotted falling snow for the first time, scientists reported Monday.

A laser aboard the Phoenix recently detected snow falling from clouds more than two miles above its home in the northern arctic plains. The snow disappeared before reaching the ground.

Soil experiments revealed the presence of two minerals known to be formed in liquid water. Scientists identified the minerals as calcium carbonate, found in limestone and chalk, and sheet silicate.

But exactly how that happened remains a mystery.
