The Phoenix Lander, expected to last just 90 Martian days, is still exploring the red planet's air, ice and soil many weeks after it was expected to die. More than 130 days after landing near the planet's north pole, the lander has recently discovered snow falling from clouds as winter on northern Mars approaches.

  • @captcaveman4201 OK, My fault for not reading the full description. With that being said I think it's in accurate. But oh well. This is new evidence for me to now research. I'll get back to you. Lol. And thanks for the insults. All I wanted to hear was what evidence you might have to support your comment.

  • @azsako please share what? First off you say it lost its atmosphere... What are you talking about? This video is about snow being detected on mar's atmosphere..Use your brain next time..., That is what it is there 4.

  • @captcaveman4201 Please share. I believe, and just my opinion based on whatever facts I have heard... that Mars actually lost it's atmosphere when it's core solidified causing it to have very little gravity. There for any ice that melts will just evaporate instantly and be lost to the vacumes of space. Earth may very well resemble mars much much later then sooner.

  • @captcaveman4201 how do you know its generating an atmosphere. i thought an atmosphere would be evaporated by the solar winds because it has no magnetic field to protect it.

  • @captcaveman4201 what evidence do you have for this?

  • @datzfast prob because it lost its atmosphere when it had oxygen

  • WHY DID THE MARS POLAR ICE CAPS MELT

  • @KillerDusk7 don't listen to the reretards.. Earth is not going to look like mars... The opposite is true.. Mars is going to look like Earth! Its growing up, getting warmer, and generating an atmosphere.

  • @KillerDusk7 Looks like you have no friends.
