Water has been discovered on planet Mars! NASA scientists reported on Monday, while revealing a breakthrough, that they hope to find life on Mars and try to continue their research there. While the breakthrough doesn’t confirm that there is certainly water on Mars, it does give reasonable hope that, in fact, there is. Liquid water ran down the canyons and mountains in the summer months on Mars. These water patterns left long, dark stains that reached hundreds of meters downhill. Scientists are unsure about where the water originated, but they suspect underground ice, or even salty aquifers. An aquifer is a rock that holds or moves groundwater. “It’s a fascinating piece of work,” quoth John Bridges, professor of planetary science at the University of Leicester. “our view of Mars is changing, and we’ll be discussing this for a long time to come.”
