Hope you’re not bored of stories about water ice on Mars: Now that scientists have found it, they can’t seem to stop finding it. Just a few months after the dear, departed Mars Phoenix Lander made history by touching and analyzing water ice beneath the soil near the Martian north pole, researchers using NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter have discovered massive glaciers near the equator. The glaciers, buried under rocky debris, are said to be more than three times the size of Los Angeles, up to half a mile thick and skirt the edges of mountains and cliffs [Telegraph].......
My thought of the story is that why would you want to find water on earth, but after i read this article I defiantly wanted to keep reading. About half way through the article I wanted to know how it got there and how it was formed. This article is tell a story of how they found the glaciers of ice and what they did with it. But if you want to know more about the article you have to go read the story and figure out if you think there is life on mars and no I am not talking about boys.
