In what could possibly be a historical making event, the Mars Phoenix Lander has literally landed on ice! This is a huge find as scientists have theorized that Mars’ soil was full of ice but until now, they’ve never had actual proof. What’s even bigger than this is if there’s ice, then that means the Earth isn’t the only planet with water. This literally could be a science-book-changing event happening right in front of us!

For an exact timeline and the mission of Mars Phoenix Lander, check out this awesome video here.

Check out this picture taken from Phoenix in which scientists believe shows a huge piece of ice that was uncovered by Phoenix’s rocket boosters.

In what could be a crazy picture, if not defined correctly by scientists, here’s the first impression made by the Phoenix Lander on Mars’ soil. It’s titled, brilliantly, “Yeti” (as in Bigfoot).
