The Mars Express mission orbiting Mars (not the Beagle 2 part that crash-landed) has discovered liquid water in the south polar region of Mars.

The orbiter has been patiently circling Mars since 2003, using its ground-penetrating radar to map the surface up to a certain depth.

And now the ESA scientists have found a bright spot that they think is an underground lake.

    With just one comma you could have written a beautiful little bit of creative writing.
