Mars' north pole is layered, scientists say

This image provided by NASA is a small portion of an exposure taken in March 2008 by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. Some high-latitude areas on Mars and Earth exhibit similarly patterned ground where shallow fracturing has drawn polygons on the surface. This patterning may result from cycles of freezing and thawing.

Phoenix probe sends 1st pictures from Mars' north pole

One of the first color images from the Phoenix Mars Lander shows the surface of Mars after the Phoenix Mars Lander spacecraft landed successfully in the first-ever touchdown near Mars' north pole May 25, 2008.

NASA probe confirms ice on Mars

NASA scientists say photos sent from Mars by the Phoenix Lander confirm ice on the red planet. The presence of water is crucial for research because it helps answer questions on whether life forms, perhaps microbes, exist or existed on Mars. Phoenix dug a trench near Mars' north pole and a sequence of photos shows eight white chucks slowly vanishing. Over the next few weeks Phoenix will analyse the Martian soil and look for organic material. In 2002 another unmanned craft, the Mars Odyssey Orbiter first detected what's thought to be a vast sheet of ice under the barren polar surface.

Mars Water-Life Connection Tenuous, Scientists Say

The Phoenix Mars Lander has found definitive proof of the presence of water on Mars. Could a discovery of life be far behind? Not necessarily, say the experts. While water is necessary for life, it's also pretty common. A lot more also has to be there for life to be a possibility.

Mars bake test hastened after oven short circuit

This artist rendition provided by NASA and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory shows the Phoenix lander on the arctic plains of Mars digging a trench through the upper soil layer. The Phoenix Mars lander suffered a short circuit several weeks ago to one of its eight tiny test ovens. Scientists fear another outage could render the crucial equipment useless.
