Phoenix's atmospheric measurements of isotope ratios of carbon and oxygen gave evidence for liquid water on the surface now or in the recent geological past.[1]Also its 2008 observations of possible droplets on its legs suggested new ways that water could be stable temporarily on Mars.[2] These observations lead many scientists to reassess the present habitability of Mars

I've also set up a test blog:
Guidelines
- I set this up after a bizarre situation in Wikipedia where the original for Possible Present Day Habitats For Life On Mars was deleted by editors who knew almost nothing about the topic and didn't even know about NASA's objective B of their first science goal.

With that background in mind:
- Will proceed more like scholarpedia where the main author of an article needs to approve significant changes, rather than the way Wikipedia does it where anyone can dive in and remove most of the content or rewrite an article or even delete it without talking things over properly.
Otherwise similar - mainspace articles to be reasonably encyclpedic, please keep to well sourced statements.
Blogs can be original research or opinions and points of views.
