chaq MARS yuQDaq bIQ tu'lu' 'e' toblaw' tera'ngan nejwI':
A patch of Martian soil analyzed by NASA's rover Spirit is so rich
in silica that it may provide some of the strongest evidence yet that
ancient Mars was much wetter than it is now. The processes that could
have produced such a concentrated deposit of silica require the
presence of water. . . .
"You could hear people gasp in astonishment," said Steve Squyres
of Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y., principal investigator for the
Mars rover's science instruments. "This is a remarkable discovery.
And the fact that we found something this new and different after
nearly 1,200 days on Mars makes it even more remarkable. It makes
you wonder what else is still out there."
