Very interesting read! Thanks for posting. Amazing.....Mars is my favorite and I believe we will hear such news in couple of months that it will change our entire view about life and wather in other environments.

Just read that: there's an update: apparantly those 'puddles' are on the slope of a crater - the scientists retracted their claims after this was pointed out. D'oh!

By next week they will have worked out that due to the low Martian gravity,temperature and atomspheric pressure 'puddles' are 'sticky' and tend to stay where they form,even on slopes!

At the moment I've got more than enough real puddles here so I'm quite prepared to let them have a few!

If they can find Puddles, maybe they can find a Jack Russell Terrier. They must have been Standard Puddles, though...

did they think that this "puddle" consisted of dry ice?
