A lake on Mars. That's cool.
Although, it is 1.5km under ice at the Southern Pole, and to be liquid at -68c it must be full of salts.
So another tantalising hint that life could be on Mars. All that salt is bad for cells, but I'm holding hope that life has found a way. Perhaps if the salt levels raised slowly enough to give Martian deep-lake-life enough time to adapt?
And today, the 27th, is opposition for Mars.
Hopefully the cloud cover parts enough tonight for a quick look from the front steps.
