Mars lander finds minerals suggesting past water LOS ANGELES - NASA's Phoenix spacecraft has discovered evidence of past water at its Martian landing site and spotted falling snow for the first time, scientists reported Monday. Soil experiments revealed the presence of two minerals known to be formed in liquid water. Scientists identified the minerals as calcium carbonate, found in limestone and chalk, and sheet silicate.   Nations:U.S.   Activities:Phoenix Mars Lander   Source:(AP)   2008-09-30 Dust Devils Photographed in Martian Arctic Dust devils raging across the arctic plains of Mars were caught on film by NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander.   Nations:Canada   Activities:Phoenix Mars Lander   2008-09-12 China's lunar satellite faces eclipse challenge BEIJING (AFP) -
