More Love from Mars: Watch Alien Ice Sublimate

Posted by mistergroonk in Just Freaking Neat on June 20, 2008

These images were acquired by NASA’s Phoenix Mars Lander’s Surface Stereo Imager on the 21st and 25th days of the mission, or Sols 20 and 24 (June 15 and 18, 2008).

These images show sublimation of ice in the trench informally called “Dodo-Goldilocks” over the course of four days.

In the lower left corner, lumps disappear, similar to the process of evaporation.

No one believed me, so I brought pictures.

Give me some of that Martian Spring Water.

Mmmm. Tasty.

UPDATE: Mahalo News gathers more feeds on the find.

Still don’t believe? I brought text, too.
