Phoenix, the 770-pound spacecraft, landed on Mars in May. It studied things on Mar's north pole for a few months, and then called it a day on November 2nd. Among it's findings, Phoenix positively confirmed that water ice exists on the red planet.
Where there is water, there is at least an infinitesimal possibility of life. Aside from water, they also found other stuff there that has scientists giddy and drinking Red Bull by the gallon. Last message sent by Phoenix's blackberry? "TRIUMPH".
