NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has now been exploring the Red Planet for two years, which was the length of its original mission. The missuin has been extended for another two years.
Data from MRO has begun to paint a picture of the history of Mars that is not simply wetter than previously thought, but a picture in which water plays a significant role in sculpting the surface we see.
More water on the surface for longer periods of time, of course, strengthens the case for possible life on Mars.
