Hi, everyone. Under what circumstances does CO2 become a liquid? I was under the impression that, on earth, at least, it turns straight from a solid into a gas. It seems to me that its existance as a liquid would be highly unstable, at best, and that the likelihood that a standing body of liquid CO2 could exist long enough to create layered bedrock is virtually nil. It seems to me as if the Mars rover team has been enormously conservative in its pronouncements, and that they would not have announced evidence for a significant standing body of water unless the evidence was pretty much indisputable. I know Europa is our first love on this list, but it's beginning to look as if Mars is a pretty interesting place as well.
