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

[-] TurtleJoe@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago

It's the location that's surprising.

Yeah, you'd expect milk there

There's an image on Wikipedia I can't find showcasing water on Mars.

A glass of water on a Mars bar.

Not the exact image but close enough

[-] HEXN3T@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 months ago

Never mind, it's not close enough.

Because I found it.

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:

Due to Absorbance, wet air should absorb specific frequencies of light.
