      I was about to say; isn’t this about the dozenth time they’ve found water on Mars? It’s not news anymore.

        It’s the location that’s surprising.

            Nice sleuthing!

            The link now says “content no longer available”. Were you able to track down the original Wikipedia article as well?

      I wonder: Is there any experiment done on Mars that uses Spectroscopy to detect water?

      I’m thinking of something like this:
