Sindh Today reports the possible discovery of liquid water on Mars, splashed onto the leg of  NASA’s Phoenix Lander, with the supporting theoretical arguments  made by Nilton Renno of the University of Michigan, who is a member of the Phoenix team.  Despite the impossibly low temperatures that are too cold for the pure form of water to exist as a liquid, it is thought that the water has high enough levels of salt for it to stay liquid at much lower temperatures.  [Source]
