SUMMARY: Sculptor Bobby Zokaites, inspired by enduring Phoenix’s extreme heat, helped create shade art installations to combat rising temperatures. U.S. cities merge art, science, and community to raise heat risk awareness and provide cooling shade, crucial amid climate-driven heat. Phoenix, known for 115+ days over 100°F, features vibrant shade structures with misting systems and educational events promoting heat safety.

Scientists caution that non-biological processes could explain these features and emphasize the need for detailed analysis, ideally in Earth labs. Sample return missions are delayed to the 2040s due to high costs. The discovery is the most compelling clue yet in the search for past Martian life but remains inconclusive.
