DARK SPOTS (left) and fans scribble dusty hieroglyphics on top of the Martian south polar cap in two high-resolution MOC images taken in southern spring. Each image is about 2 miles wide. Click on the image to download a 976KB version.

SPIDERS TRACE a delicate pattern on top of the residual polar cap, after the seasonal carbon-dioxide ice slab has disappeared. Next spring, these will likely mark the sites of vents when the CO2 icecap returns. This MOC image is about 2 miles wide. Click on the image to download an 824KB version

All this time I though "iknowthetruh" came from Uranus.

Global warming on Mars and nary a soul causing it. Go figure.

" Global warming on Mars and nary a soul causing it. Go figure. " that's why the Liberals/MSM have it wrong in naming it " Global Warming " instead it should be called Solar warming.

Jets of carbon dioxide gas burst from the ice cap as it warms every spring
Hmmm, seasonal global warming leads to increased CO2 on Mars just as solar-caused global warming on Earth leads to increased atmospheric CO2 from methane released from marine methane hydrates.

Scientists have thought the spots were part of the ground revealed as the ice disappeared.
Oh my god! The ice is disappearing on Mars too?! Does Al Gore know?!
To: NormsRevenge
If you were there, you'd be standing on a slab of carbon dioxide ice," Ug what a horrible place. Man's future is NOT in space.

Nice simulation / artist's conception.

you'd be standing on a slab of carbon dioxide ice It's dry ice. Don't need to go to Mars to stand on that; it is used in the food industry. Standing on dry ice would not be a good idea, BTW.
