Mars's polar skies found to be an almost balmy -93C
Published Date: 13 October 2008 By John von Radowitz
A MARTIAN weather satellite has surprised scientists with its first report from
the Red Planet.
Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter found that winter conditions above the planet's
south pole are
much warmer than had been expected.
The probe, launched by the American space agency Nasa, went into orbit around
Mars two
years ago. Results from its observations are published for the first time in the
journal Nature
Geoscience.
Scientists hope to find clues which may explain how a planet that once had
rivers and lakes
like Earth became a desert.
