<DIV class=Section1>I know there has been some debate about whether or not there
ever was running water on Mars and recent evidence supports this. I have never
heard any mention of actual water vapor. Then today I read an article where it
mentions water vapor in terns of how much is there, not whether or not it
exists. Has water vapor been proven to exist there, or did I miss something?
Here are the quote and the article:</DIV>
<DIV class=Section1>
<P>"None of Spirit's astronomy images are part of the rover's primary mission,
but by taking more of them, scientists hope to learn something about the amount
of dust and water vapor in the nighttime atmosphere of Mars."</P>
