Abstract
Most researchers have believed that the days were long gone when water splashed on the surface of Mars or even near it. Now continuing analyses of martian meteorites and stunning images from the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS), which has been in orbit since 1997, are breathing new life into the Red Planet. Last month9s announcement that the camera aboard MGS had spied signs of geologically recent--possibly even ongoing--water seeps has caught everyone9s attention. Other, perhaps more persuasive, signs also suggest that water may even now flow on or beneath the frigid surface.Keywords
