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, remnants of ancient water or ice could provide vital resources for astronauts during future human exploration.

مریخ پر مائع پانی دریافت

یہ مائع پانی کا پہلا واضح ثبوت ہے، نہ صرف منجمد برف، مریخ پر دریافت ہوئی ہے۔

سائنس میں شائع ہونے والی ایک اہم دریافت نے اس بات کی تصدیق کی ہے کہ مریخ پر ایک بار مائع پانی موجود تھا، جو سیارے کی آب و ہوا اور زندگی کو سہارا دینے کی صلاحیت کے بارے میں نئی ​​بصیرت پیش کرتا ہے۔ 

ناسا کے کیوریوسٹی روور کے ڈیٹا کا تجزیہ کرنے والے محققین نے گیل کریٹر کے علاقے میں چٹانوں میں قدیم "لہر لہروں" کی نشاندہی کی، جو 3.7 بلین سال پرانی ہیں۔ یہ لہریں، جو ہوا اور پانی سے بنتی ہیں، تقریباً 2 میٹر (6.5 فٹ) گہرائی میں ایک اتھلی، کھلی ہوا والی جھیل کی موجودگی کی نشاندہی کرتی ہیں۔ 

یہ دریافت ایک ایسے وقت پر روشنی ڈالتی ہے جب مریخ پر گرم آب و ہوا اور ایک گھنا ماحول تھا جو مائع پانی کو برقرار رکھنے کے قابل تھا - زندگی کے لیے ایک اہم جزو جیسا کہ ہم جانتے ہیں۔

یہ انکشاف مریخ کی رہائش کو سمجھنے اور مستقبل کے مشنوں کی منصوبہ بندی کے لیے دور رس اثرات رکھتا ہے۔ 

مائع پانی کی موجودگی اس امکان کو بڑھاتی ہے کہ مائکروبیل زندگی ایک بار سیارے پر پروان چڑھی تھی۔ مزید برآں، قدیم پانی یا برف کی باقیات مستقبل میں انسانی تلاش کے دوران خلابازوں کے لیے اہم وسائل فراہم کر سکتی ہیں۔

The black diamond apple stands out from other apples due to its luxurious appeal and rarity and also arouses people's curiosity. The distinctive color of the black diamond apple is actually attributed to the unique geographical location of Ningchi, a small town nestled among the mountains in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China. Apples found at high altitudes are exposed to intense ultraviolet light during the day, causing significant temperature fluctuations. Such climatic conditions contribute to the production of the characteristic black color of the apple. Although the inside of the black diamond apple is like a regular apple...
