NASA claims water exists on Mars

Scientists at the US Aerospace Agency (NASA) said yesterday they had accurate evidence to prove that water exists on the Red Planet.

This is the first time since safely landing at Mars in late May, NASA's Phoenix probe has identified water in a soil sample collected from the surface of the Red planet.

'We found water on Mars,' said Arizona University scientist William Boynton in a statement released by NASA yesterday.

'Earlier, we saw evidence of ice in surveys of the Mars Odyssey probe and last month Phoenix discovered ice. But this is the first time, Phoenix touches and feels the water on Fire. '

With interesting results, NASA announced yesterday that it will extend the Phoenix probe's Mars time to another month.
