Thanks to Alfons, who pointed out this morning's BBC News article, which describes Spirit's discovery of Goethite at Gusev Crater. This really does shore up the earlier discoveries at Gusev and makes the case for water there much more sound. Cool. You can read back over some of my earlier posts for more information on this fascinating Martian geology.

I can just imagine the tons of data of new stuff they didn't know about Mars piling up, because both rovers worked fine and both worked longer than expected. That they find water evidence is just icing on the cake. :-) This is them when they're at their best.
Perhaps boring :-), but the Cassini page has again interesting imagery of Titan.
