Liquid Water Present on Mars Now

Universe Today reports More Researchers Say Liquid Water Present on Mars Now.

"Finding perchlorates on Mars was not only surprising for the Phoenix lander science team, it also has created a bit of a rift among the researchers. In March, Ian reported on one scientist who used strictly photographic evidence to say that blobs appearing on the lander’s legs were actually water. Other scientists, however, including principal investigator Peter Smith were dubious about the ‘water on Mars now’ claims. But now, a group of researchers at the University of Arkansas say they have now demonstrated a potential stable liquid on present-day Mars in the immediate environment of the lander."

The article has a couple of cool pictures too.
