We have found water on the tallest volcanoes in the Solar System! 🧊 #shorts
Our ExoMars and Mars Express missions have spotted water frost for the first time on top of the Tharsis volcanoes: the tallest volcanoes not only on Mars but in the Solar System.
It was detected near Mars’s equator, a part of the planet where it was thought impossible for frost to exist.
The researchers propose that air circulates in a peculiar way above Tharsis; this creates a unique microclimate within the calderas of the volcanoes there that allows patches of frost to form.

The atmosphere is so thin the ice lumps bombarding Mars from space fail to stay and flow into oceans? But spacerocks with ice keep trying, but so far millions of years of thin thin ice is all that covers some hideaway cooler spots of not being evaporated off planet again right away?
Hence proved 😅😅
This is so cool
Incredibly stunning! Such a beautiful sight to behold. Thanks for sharing ESA!
I must stop watching this kind of videos😂 For the first time in my life I realized yesterday when I filled the tank of my car that the metal of the filler neck becomes much colder than the outside temperature 😮 At the controlgroup 😂😂😂 one had same temperature as outside and one was still a little colder! MECO!
