liquid water discovered on Mars This is the first clear evidence of liquid water, not just frozen ice, discovered on Mars. A groundbreaking discovery published in Science has confirmed that Mars once had liquid water, offering new insights into the planet’s climate and potential for supporting life.  Researchers analyzing data from NASA’s Curiosity rover identified ancient "wave ripples" in rocks at the Gale Crater region, dating back 3.7 billion years. These ripples, formed by wind and water, indicate the presence of a shallow, open-air lake about 2 meters (6.5 feet) deep.  The discovery highlights a time when Mars had a warmer climate and a thicker atmosphere capable of sustaining liquid water — a critical ingredient for life as we know it. This revelation has far-reaching implications for understanding Mars' habitability and planning future missions.  The presence of liquid water raises the possibility that microbial life once thrived on the planet. Additionally, remna...
